Toffee & Pecan Pretzel Treats
-------------------------------
Directions:
1. Line base of Medium Sheet Pan with non-stick baking paper, place in freezer 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, using Rotary Grater, grate 35 g of the pecans into (500-ml) Easy Read Measuring Cup, set aside. Finely chop remaining 35 g pecans on Cutting Board using Food Chopper. Combine toffees and cream in Small Batter Bowl, microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1-2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring after every 30-second interval using Skinny Scraper. Stir in chopped pecans, cool 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place chocolate chips in Small Micro-Cooker(R). Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH about 1 minute or until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring after every 15-second interval.
3. Remove sheet pan and paper from freezer, sprinkle paper evenly with grated pecans. Arrange pretzels about 1 cm apart over grated pecans. Using Small Scoop, place about 1/3 of a scoop of toffee mixture over each pretzel. Spoon or pipe a small amount of melted chocolate over toffee mixture (see Chef's Corner). Decorate pretzels with remaining pecan halves. Allow chocolate and toffee to cool and set before serving. (Place sheet pan in refrigerator until chocolate is firm, if desired.)

Cook's Tip: If the toffee mixture becomes too firm during scooping, microwave on HIGH 5-10 seconds or until re-softened.
To easily top toffee mixture with chocolate, place a small polythene food bag into Measure-All(R) Cup. Spoon melted chocolate into bag. Twist top of bag, secure with Twixit! Clip. Cut a small tip off one corner of bottom of bag to allow chocolate to flow through. Pipe chocolate over each toffee-covered pretzel.
Plain or white chocolate chips can be substituted for the milk chocolate chips, if desired. Remember to carefully check when microwaving, as their melting times may vary slightly.
For best results, use dairy toffees which have a softer texture rather than brittle toffee.
Chef's Tips
When melting chocolate in a microwave you need to do it in short blasts of 10 second intervals otherwise you will burn the chocolate.
