This is superb! We love toffee! I didn't add the nuts due to family taste but this is super easy. On the second part of the chocolate chips, I did have to stick them in the oven for a little bit to get them warmed up more but other than they the recipe went great!! Thanks, Puppitypup, for the great recipe! Made for Potluck Game

Excellent. I used chopped pecans! I will put some melted chocolate in little candy molds, then the melted toffee, then some chocolate again, the next time I make. This recipe is ideal for single candies or in broken chunks. Great for gift giving. I will make time and time again. Thanks for posting!
