Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and place the roughly chopped nuts in the bottom of a
9x9 pan
* that's been
lined with parchment

Toast the nuts in the oven until fragrant (approx. 5 to 10 minutes).
Place the butter, sugar, water, and salt in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.
Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot.
