Mom
2 C. sugar
2/3 C. butter
2 T. water
1 T. light corn syrup
1 t. vanilla
1 pkg. (6 oz.) chocolate chips
1 C. finely chopped walnuts
Combine sugar, butter, water and syrup in a 3 qt. saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves. Cover and cook over medium for 2-3 minutes to wash down the sugar crystals on the sides of the pan.
Uncover and cook to the hard crack stage. (This is when you have a glass of cold water and put a drop of the candy into it, and the candy will crack when you pull it out.)
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into an ungreased 9X13” cake pan, spreading to the edges.
Sprinkle chocolate over it and let it stand for 1 minutes, or until chocolate begins to melt. Spread the chocolate over the entire candy layer. Sprinkle with the nuts.
Let it stand until set. Break into pieces and store in the frig.
