HARD TOFFEE RECIPE

Steps:

• Spray rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; cover with parchment.
• Bring sugar, butter, water, corn syrup and salt to boil in large saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil gently, without stirring, 10 to 12 min. or mixture is thickened and reaches 300°F when tested with candy thermometer. (Mixture will be done when 1/2 tsp. of the cooked sugar mixture will form a hard brittle thread when dropped into 1 cup cold water.) Remove from heat.
• Stir in vanilla and baking soda. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheet; spread to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle with nuts; cool.
• Melt chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over toffee layer. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate is firm. Break into small pieces to serve.
