Make the shortcrust pastry and use a piping bag with a 7mm nozzle to pipe out strips on a 60 x 40cm baking tray. Freeze. Cut your strips into 9cm-long sticks. Bake on a micro-perforated silicone mat at 280°F (140°C) for approx. 45 minutes until they are completely dry. Coat the sticks with Inspiration couverture. Leave to harden. Coat them with milk or dark couverture, depending on your preferences, blowing on them to make sure they are covered. Leave to harden at 60°F (16°C). Arrange the sticks in Transparent Containers (ref. 8750).
