We have had most success with making this recipe a single batch at a time and not trying to double or triple it.
Place sugar, butter, syrup, salt, and water in 2-quart saucepan. Quickly bring to a boil on high heat, stirring with wooden spoon. Stir constantly, cooking over medium-high heat until boiling mixture turns 1 shade darker than light brown sugar. Remove from heat and add 1 cup nuts. Pour into buttered 9x9 pan. Lay chocolate over and spread as chocolate melts to cover entire top. Sprinkle rest of nuts on top. Set at room temperature for one hour and refrigerate for 24 hours. Break into pieces and store in airtight container. Stores well in the refrigerator or freezer.
Freeze, using instructions for baked goods.
