Steps:
- Butter the top edges of a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add butter, 1 teaspoon of the Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt, sugar, and water to the casserole. DO NOT STIR.

You need to watch it carefully, and remember: DON'T STIR.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped cashews into a 9-into circle on a Silpat mat, parchment paper, or on a buttered baking sheet.
- Carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the cashews. Immediately sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 1 minute to melt the chocolate.
- Use spatula to smooth out chocolate over the entire sheet of candy.
- Sprinkle the remaining cashews and 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt over the top. Refrigerate to cool completely. When cool, break into bite-sized pieces. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.

- Note: If the butter releases from the toffee, it probably cooked a bit too long. When it happens I just tilt the pan so that the butter runs away from the toffee before it cools.
- Note: Works well with other nuts and chocolate combinations also.
Tips:
- Use a heavy saucepan to prevent scorching the sugar.
- Stir the sugar mixture constantly to prevent crystallization.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the sugar reaches the desired temperature.
- Be careful when adding the butter and cream to the hot sugar mixture, as it may spatter.
- Stir the mixture until the butter and cream are completely incorporated.
- Pour the toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
