Critical Success Points

  • Properly toast the sesame seeds and almonds to develop aromas.
  • Achieve a dough that holds together without being too sticky.
  • Let the cakes cool before applying chocolate to prevent the coating from running.
  • Fry the cigars at precise temperature to obtain crispness without burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid burns.
  • Melted chocolate is very hot; do not touch directly.
  • Use kitchen gloves when removing from the oven.
