Works fine for me

I've made this three or four times and it's been fine.  The butter does seem to separate during the process, but if you stir per the directions, then stir right before pouring it works out fine.

We don't have the patience to let it cool long enough for the chocolate to set so we leave the chocolate off and just get yummy toffee.

One other note, make sure the bowl is much larger than the initial ingredients as they will foam considerably during the heating.

This recipe failed for me. The butter separated from the sugar and never made a nice candy syrup. The end result was wasted ingredients.
