Barb's English Toffee

Makes 5 lbs.

Ingredients:
*� - 1lb walnuts, ground
*1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate, ground in food processor (Put in freezer first for a few minutes to make it easier to grate in the food processor.)
*2 � C sugar
*1 lb. salted butter

*1 C water
*6 ounces finely grounded walnuts
 
Preparation:
1) Combine the chocolate and the walnuts and spread half in a thick layer over the bottom of a large un-greased baking sheet.
 
2) Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, the 6 ounces of finely ground walnuts, and water in a heavy enameled casserole and place over medium to medium high heat.
 
3) Cook stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula until a candy thermometer reads 280 degrees. Remove from heat and pour evenly onto the baking sheet. Spread evenly with a spatula.
 
4) Sprinkle remaining chocolate and nuts over the candy and pat down with a cold spatula. Let stand in a cool place for a few hours before breaking into bite size pieces.
 
Note: If you desire, wrap individual pieces in aluminum foil.
