Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee.
Let the chocolate melt for a minute, then spread evenly over the toffee.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set.
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
