Preparation steps

1.

 

Chop both chocolate couvertures. Put half of dark chocolate and all the milk chocolate in a bowl. Boil the cream, pour over the chocolate, let stand 1 minute, then stir gently with a rubber spatula , until ganache is smooth. Stir in liqueur and cinnamon. Cut 75 grams (approximately 3 ounces) butter into small pieces and stir until it has melted. Ganache will keep for  2-3 hours in a cool place.

 

2.

Place a small chocolate frame (about 15 x 20 cm) (approximately 6 x 8 inches) on parchment paper.

3.

Chop all the nuts. Toast in a dry pan, sprinkle with sugar and cook until caramelized, then stir in the remaining butter. Immediately pour mixture evenly in the chocolate frame.

4.

Whip ganache with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes. Pour on top of the nut mixture in the chocolate frame and refrigerate for 2 hours.

5.

Temper the remaining dark chocolate and pour in the chocolate frame. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Loosen edge of frame using a sharp knife. Cut brittle with a sharp knife, dipping it in hot water and wiping dry after each cut, into about 2 x 3 cm (approximately 3/4 x 1-inch) cubes.
