Amazing Dairy Free Toffee

I make this one time a year....ONLY for the holidays.  Why, you might ask.  Good question!  Because I have no self control.  I will eat the entire batch all by myself.  It is THAT GOOD!  I try to make enough for all our holiday parties, teachers, neighbors, etc, but this is so good that it doesn't stick around for long.  I usually have to make several different batches of it so we have enough!


AMAZING DAIRY FREE TOFFEE

1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped

1.  Grease bottom and sides of a square pan 9x9x2.
2.  Spread chopped nuts in pan.
3.  Heat brown sugar and butter to boiling in 1 1/2- quart sauce pan, stirring constantly.
