Assembly and finishing

Remove the layered Cocoa Crumble and Crunchy Praliné base from the freezer and let warm slightly before cutting. Cut into 12x1.5cm rectangles. Separate on a Silpat-lined tray, then using a large round tip, pipe the cold Almond Crémeux on top, smoothing the ends with a hot knife.Return the inserts to the freezer. Warm the GUANAJA Crémeux just until liquid but not hot. Pour 50g of GUANAJA Crémeux into a mold (Silikomart SF247) then place the frozen insert inside, making sure the insert is flush with the opening of the mold and the Crémeux is evenly distributed.  Repeat with all the inserts, then blast freeze before unmolding.Unmold the bars and place on a glazing rack. Heat the Cocoa Nib Glaze to 95˚F (35˚C) and evenly coat the frozen bars. Place in a covered container and allow to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
