  2. Melt the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, salt, and water in a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm toffee and let them melt for about 2 minutes, then spread into an even layer.
  5. Immediately sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer and gently press them in.
  6. Allow the toffee to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
