Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the baking surface by lining a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and preheating your oven to 300°F.
  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.
  3. Once the mixture reaches a deep golden brown, pour it onto the prepared baking dish and allow it to sit for about 1 to 2 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.
