Assembly and finishing
Coat a sheet of dipping paper with tempered milk couverture, then immediately place a 6mm-tall 34 x 34cm frame onto the coating and add 120g of salted candied almonds. Pour the tempered praliné into the frame and cover with salted candied almonds. Leave to set at 60°F (17°C) and a 60% relative humidity level. Use a guitar cutter to slice the sheet into 30mm strips, then use a knife to cut these into into 11cm bars. Coat the bars with milk couverture using an air blower set to medium speed, and immediately apply some candied chopped almonds onto one side of the bar.
