How to Make Aunt Norma's Chocolate Nut Toffee

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Spread the mixed nuts evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter and brown sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Continue boiling for exactly 7 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The mixture will thicken.
  6. Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the nuts in the prepared pan, ensuring all nuts are completely coated.
  7. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee.
  8. Let the pan sit, uncovered, until the chocolate chips have melted and softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Using a spatula or knife, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the toffee is completely set.
  11. Once set, turn the toffee out onto a cutting board and break into bite-sized pieces.
