4	Remove from the oven, allow to cool and chop roughly.

6	Melt 125 g dark chocolate in a bain-marie.
7	On a baking sheet, put a sheet of cooking parchment. Fix well to stop it from moving.
8	Start a chocolate disc: with a maryse spread out a 1 or 2 mm layer of chocolate.
9	Quickly put on it a layer of nuts. Press in with the back of a spoon or your fingers, to be sure that nuts are embedded in the chocolate.
10	Continue like this with all the chocolate. You can vary shapes and sizes. Put in the fridge for at least one hour.
11	Afetr this time, unstick discs from paper.
