  5. Switch from the whisk to a rubber spatula, scoop from the bottom and lift, folding the batter with a cutting motion. Once almost no floury texture remains, the batter is done.~2 minWatch the video from 5:34
  6. Place the chocolate bar on a thin cutting board, set the knife on a narrow section, and press down with your body weight to break it into coarse pieces. If the pieces are large, cut into them randomly from above. Stop while the chunks are still roughly and generously sized.Uses: Chocolate bar~3 minWatch the video from 6:13

  11. When they are done, insert a bamboo skewer or toothpick into the center; if nothing comes out or only a few crumbs of batter cling to it, they are baked through.
