Steps:
- 1. Line a 13 X 9 or close to that size, pan with foil. (I use the non-stick type and it can be reused over and over).
- 2. Place graham crackers on the foil with entire bottom covered in crackers. If you have any space, just break some crackers and fill it in with the broken pieces.
- 3. Combine butter, sugar in a saucepan; cook until it's melted about 2 minutes. Add nuts. Remove from stove and set aside.
- 4. Pour buttery mixture over the crackers and spread to sides. Don't worry if it's thin in spots--when it heats it will spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes--my oven bakes fast so I watch it at 8 minutes! It shouldn't be very brown--just golden brown. Remove and cool. (I put mine outside on the deck or you can put it in the fridge to hurry it up) Break into pieces and watch it disappear fast!

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the toffee from burning.
- Stir the toffee constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the toffee reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the toffee forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Pour the toffee onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature.
