Great for nibbling or for recipes! I use this recipe in my Murder in Montana desert. Chocolate is optional. Personally I don't add it, as we enjoy it better plain. I got this from my Gram when over 10 years ago and have it and use it off of the napkin I wrote it on! Ive tried it using all margerine and all butter but the best results come from a stick of each.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (i prefer to use 1/2 c. marg. 1/2 c. real butter)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare a 13x9x2 pan or jelly roll pan (it must have sides on it - don't use a cookie sheet!) by buttering lightly.
2. Stir together all ingredients except chocolate chips in a heavy pan over medium heat, stirring frequently till mixture reaches 290, and just begins to turn brown.
3. Using a spatula quickly pour candy onto prepared pan, tilting pan to spread out.
4. Cool Completely. Break in pieces with heavy end of butter knife till desired size.
5. If desired melt chocolate chips and spread on top with spatula before breaking in pieces.
