  • Melt in the microwave for 2 minutes at 800 W, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Grease and line the 21×9 mold with parchment paper making it adhere perfectly and pour 130 g of the chocolate and peanut butter mixture that you just obtained.
  • Beat the mold well on the table to create a homogeneous base, then place in the refrigerator to cool for 20-30 minutes.
