"This stuff is SO good! It's a recipe I got from my grandmother. Fast and SUPER easy to make. And it never stays around long! You can substitute a large Hershey's bar or Hershey's kisses if you don't have chips on hand. Substitute almonds, cashews or walnuts to change it up a little if you like. Number of servings depends on how big you break the pieces."

ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lb real unsalted butter
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chocolate chips
1 ¹⁄₂ cups finely chopped pecans

directions

Sprinkle nuts onto 11X17 cookie sheet (I usually spray the cookie sheet with non-stick spray before I start - just in case).
Spread your chocolate evenly over the nuts and set the pan aside.
Mix remaining ingredients in an iron skillet and cook on high to 300°F, about 8-10 minutes or until it forms a brittle ball when dropped into cold water, and stir constantly.
Quickly pour mixture evenly over the chocolate.
Let stand 5 minutes so chocolate has a chance to melt before placing in fridge.
leave refrigerated until the chocolate is completely cooled - at least 2.5 - 3 hours.
Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
Will last several weeks when kept in the freezer.
