Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the toffee reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the toffee reaches the correct temperature, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly using a silicone spatula.
Allow the toffee to cool for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
Let the chocolate sit on the warm toffee for about 1-2 minutes to soften, then use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the chopped almonds or pecans over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them down to ensure they stick.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once hardened, break the toffee into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container.
