Anita's Butter Crunch

Ingredients
1 pound butter (salted)
2 cup white sugar
chopped nuts - almonds or walnuts
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cook butter and sugar in heavy saucepan on medium high to high heat, stirring constantly until 310° or hard crack* stage. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Pour mixture onto greased cookie sheet or shallow pan. Let cool 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let melt spread, add nuts, turn over and repeat if desired ( I only coat one side) Let cool and break into pieces.

*Testing for hard crack stage - Fill measuring cup with ice cold water. Drip a small amount of candy mixture into water. When candy becomes brittle and cracks easily, it's done. You may have to test several times.
