This is a family recipe from my MIL I make it every year for my husband, he loves it, it's one of my favorites too.

ENGLISH TOFFEE

1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
3 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
4 or 5 Hershey chocolate bars
1/2 cup Chopped nuts (we use pecans)

Chop 2 of the hershey bars into chunks and sprinkle in buttered 9x9 pantop with half of the chopped nuts then Combine sugar, butter and water in heavy saucepan. Cook to 300 degrees (hard crack stage) stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add vanilla and pour over the chopped chocolate in the 9 x 9 inch pan, chop and sprinkle the rest of the chocolate over the top While still warm sprinkle chopped nuts over the top. Cool thoroughly and break into pieces. (the freezer works the best)
