- Make the Toffee
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt, stirring constantly.

- Use a small spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the chocolate.
- Cool and Break
- Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until hardened.
- Once set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
