English Toffee

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
6 oz. milk chocolate chips

Place pecans on the bottom of a 8x8x2 inch pan. Mix butter, sugar and water in a heavy skillet. Turn stove to high heat. Continually stir mixture. Mixture should appear fluffy. Mixture will begin to leave the sides of the pan. The candy is done when the mixture begins to turn amber color with a smoking appearance. Immediately pour over the pecans. After a couple minutes pour chocolate chips over top of the candy. Wait a few more minutes for the chocolate to melt and smooth with a knife. Allow candy to cool then break into pieces.
