Toffee:

 Toffee:

1 c. ch. pecans (I use walnuts)
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. margarine
1/2 c. choc. chips

Butter 9x9 pan & spread pecans in pan. Heat brown sugar & margarine in heavy duty saucepan to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes. Immediately spread mixture over nuts. Sprinkle choc. chips over hot mixture and cover for a couple of minutes till the chips are melted. Spread melted chips over candy. Cut into 1" squares while still hot. Refrigerate till firm.

NOTES: I actually mix the nuts into the hot mixture; otherwise, I find that a lot of nuts are wasted. I also have never had any luck cutting while hot, so I just break it up when it's firm.
