  3. Fold by hand both mixes and carefully incorporate the flour.
  4. Line on baking paper 1 cm thick.
  5. Bake at 180 C until light brown.
  6. Using a small pot on a low heat caramelize the sugar without water.
  7. Add the cinnamon sticks and continue to caramelize until you hear little pop sound from the sticks.
  8. Add carefully the heavy cream and bring to a boil to dissolve the flavoured sugar.
  9. Strain, pour over the chopped chocolate and stir with a rubber spatula.
  10. Cool down slightly and add the butter.
