Place a piece of parchment paper in a glass baking dish.

In a skillet, roast the nuts for a few minutes to bring out that amazing nutty flavor.

Place the roasted nuts on the parchment paper in the baking dish.

In a heavy bottom saucepan, add sugar, salt, butter, vanilla and water.

On medium heat dissolve the sugar and stir until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.

The mixture will start to foam and bubble. Keep stirring. It will go through stages of colors from light (white) to latte, to caramel color. You can use a candy thermometer and remove the caramel from the heat at 300 degrees F.

Once the mixture is a deep brown caramel color, remove from the heat and pour over the nuts on the parchment paper.

Optional step: Add some chocolate chips on top of the caramel and spread it evenly.

Let the toffee crunch cool completely overnight.

In the morning break up the toffee crunch into pieces.

Bring to any holiday party for that perfect holiday treat that everyone loves.
