Microwave  Toffee

Easy, but watch mixture cooked in microwave closely after 6 minutes. Mixture should only be cooked until it is very light brown. Also be very careful as this mixture will be extremely hot.  After cooking 6 minutes in microwave if needed cook 1-3 min. longer, checking after each minute.

3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1  cup sugar
1 scant tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
3/4  cup semisweet chocolate morsels

On greased cookie sheet sprinkle 1/2 cup nuts in middle of cookie sheet like a big circle.  Take a large glass 2 quart bowl, around the inside edge open stick of butter and grease bowl about two inches down. Place rest of butter in the bowl along with one cup sugar, salt and water.  Do not stir, microwave on high 6 minutes or just until light brown.  Very carefully pour hot mixture over nuts on cookie sheet, sprinkle with all of chocolate morsels, let set 1 minute, then spread chocolate and sprinkle remaining nuts on top.  Cool or chill until firm and break into pieces.  Yield one pound.  GOOD and EASY.
