Committees
-1 cup sugar
-2 tablespoons cold water
-1/2 cup chopped pecans
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-dash salt
-1 6-ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips or thin chocolate bars
Generously butter a cookie sheet. Put butter, sugar and water in heavy pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a bubbling boil, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.
Remove spoon from pan and cook to a very brittle state (300 to 310 degrees on a candy thermometer or make a cold water test: candy will separate into hard, brittle threads when dropped in cold water.)
Remove from heat and add nuts to mixture. Add vanilla and salt. Pour into prepared cookie sheet and spread to 1/4 inch thickness. Cool slightly, top with chocolate chips or bars and spread as it melts. Cool completely and break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
