You can certainly omit nuts and not top this w/ chocoalte to get a plain toffee.
Toffee Butter Crunch
1c (2 sticks) real butter
1 c. finely chopped pecans
1 Tbs. white Karo
1 1/2 c sugar
3 Tbl water
1 8oz. choc. Hersey Bar ( or milk choc. bark works really well , also milk choc. chips mixed w/ semi sweet choc chips, sprinkled on top of hot candy works too!)
Finely grated pecans for top
-Melt butter and add sugar, Karo, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally until mixture reaches 300 degrees (hard crack) on the candy thermometer.
-Ouickly stir in 1 c. finely chopped nuts and spread on a well-greased cookie sheet. Wait 10 min. or so and spread thinly with 1/2 of the chocolate (which has been melted in a dbl. boiler or microwave). Then sprinkle with finely ground nuts over the chocolate. ( I use either pecan meal or you can use a grater)
-Spread waxed paper on top of candy and flip with a spatula and repeat w/ choc. and ground nuts on the other side. Slide cookie sheet back under, and place in refrigerator or freezer. Let get cold.
-Take out a break in to small pieces. Keep in a candy can in the frig till ready to serve.
*Toffee
INGREDIENTS
1 cup white sugar
1/2 pound butter
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 (1.45 ounce) bars dark chocolate candy
DIRECTIONS
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Combine sugar, butter, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan. Cook, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches light crack stage (310 degrees F, 160 degrees C) on a candy thermometer). Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Lay chocolate bars on top of the hot mixture and spread the melting chocolate over the top of the mixture. Chill well. Crack into pieces to serve.
*Easy Butter Toffee
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter (keep extra available)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
4 ounces milk chocolate
sliced almonds (optional)
Directions
Rub the top of a microwavable mixing bowl with (extra) butter. Place butter into bowl. Pour sugar directly on butter. Add salt and water.
Cook approximately 7-8 minutes (sometimes I have seen some microwaves take up to 12 minutes). Start watching at this point so as not to overcook. Candy is done when it's the color of a Heath bar or brown sugar.
Pour mixture over sliced almonds on a buttered cookie sheet. Don't scrape the bowl! Cool!
Top with melted chocolate (and more almonds if you wish) and let cool some more.
Break into pieces and serve. (I use a regular table knife -- just be sure not to cut into your cookie sheet!)

Pour nuts and chocolate chips into a 9x13 inch dish. Pour hot mixture over the nuts and chocolate. Let the mixture cool and break it into pieces before serving.

Serves
*Easy Toffee
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Grease a 9 x 9-inch cake pan. Spread the chopped walnuts evenly in the bottom of the pan. Over high heat, melt together sugar and butter in medium size saucepan until boiling. Lower heat to medium. Boil over medium heat for 7 minutes. Pour into pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot mixture. Place a cookie sheet over the pan to retain the heat and melt the chocolate chips. Cut into squares while hot, then refrigerate until hard. Break into pieces.
Note: Yield depends on how large you break the pieces.
