Butter Toffee

1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 large pkg. chocolate chips (I like to use milk chocolate)

Combine sugar, salt, water, and butter. Cook to light crack stage (285 degrees F) on candy thermometer. Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Pour onto well greased cookie sheet (wax paper is good too). Cool. Melt chocolate bits over hot water (or microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted, be careful not to over cook or chocolate will burn). Spread chocolate on the top of toffee and sprinkle with nuts. Cool. Break in pieces.
