Directions:
This candy is best made in a skillet. Put sugar in skillet first, then add butter, and salt. Cut butter into small pieces, coating well with sugar. Cook over high heat until butter has melted, then reduce heat to a medium setting . Cook mixture until it is a deep amber in color, stirring constantly . Be sure to work the mixture away from the sides of skillet so it will not burn or become too dark in color. Cook to 290 º F or hard -crack stage. Pour into an ungreased shallow tray or marble slab. When cold, brush with melted chocolate and sprinkle finely ground nut meats over the chocolate,pressing the nuts down firmly into the chocolate. When chocolate is hardened on one side , turn candy over and repeat on other side. Break into irregular pieces. The candy will keep for several weeks if stored in a dry, cool spot., Makes 2 pounds.
