    Ingredients for Chocolate Pecan Toffee Clusters

    I used the following ingredients for these amazing treats: Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, toasted pecan pieces, and Heath Bits Brickle Toffee Bits.

    Making the Chocolate Pecan Toffee Clusters

    First, I set a large bowl over a pan of simmering water. I made sure that the bottom of the bowl didn’t touch the water. Next, I added the melting wafers to the bowl, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, the melting wafers were almost melted.

    Then, I added the chocolate chips to the white chocolate. The reason that I waited to add the chocolate chips was that they were much smaller than the melting wafers. Therefore, they would melt at a different rate than the melting wafers.

    Adding Chocolate Chips to Melted White Chocolate

    I stirred the mixture occasionally. After about 5 minutes, the chocolate chips were melted, and the mixture was velvety smooth.

    Finally, I added the toasted pecans and the toffee bits.

    I stirred the mixture together to ensure that both the pecans and the toffee bits were nicely covered with the chocolate.

    I dropped the clusters on parchment paper using a tablespoon cookie scoop. Then, I allowed them to harden.

    Chula's Expert Tips

    1. I used Ghiradelli White Melting Wafers. 
    2. I always use toasted pecans in recipes. The reason is that the toasting brings out an amazing flavor. To easily toast pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 8 or 9 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure that the pecans don't over toast.
    3. I used Heath Bits o'Brickle Toffee Bits.
    4. The reason for adding the melting wafers and chocolate chips in stages was that the melting wafers are much larger than the chocolate chips. Therefore, I first added the melting wafers and allowed them to almost melt before adding the chocolate chips. The result was a perfectly velvety chocolate mixture.
    5. I used a tablespoon cookie scoop here. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a regular tablespoon.
