Cooking time: 35 mins

Ingredients
- Cooking oil spray, to grease
- 1½ cups plain flour
- 375g unsalted butter, softened, finely diced
- 1 egg yolk
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- ½ cup honey
- 300g double cream
- 150g small pretzels, broken into pieces
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 27 x 17cm slice tin with cooking oil spray and line base and sides with baking paper. Put flour and 125g of the butter in a bowl and rub
with fingertips until crumbly. Add yolk and ¼ cup of the brown sugar and mix until combined. Press into tin, then bake for 20 minutes or until just golden. - Meanwhile, mix honey and remaining butter and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over
a medium heat for 5 minutes or until foamy. Add cream and cook for 10 minutes or until a soft ball forms when a drop of the mixture is added to cold water. - Stir pretzel pieces into caramel, then spread over baked base and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling. Set aside to cool slightly, then cut into even rectangles to serve.
