Preparation
In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar and corn syrup. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until melted, smooth and bubbly. Cover and cook for 1 minute.
Add nuts and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, stirring constantly until nuts are lightly browned and syrup is a warm golden colour, about 5 minutes.
Pour mixture onto a foil-lined and lightly buttered baking sheet, spreading as thinly aspossible. Cool until hard. Peel candy from foil and break into pieces.

Brittle can be stored, tightly covered, at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Sprinkle hot brittle with 3/4 cup (180 mL) milk chocolate chips. When melted, spread over candy. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts, if desired.
