After 5 minutes, put crepes in the oven – turn oven off and leave to dry out. Break into pieces and store in a sealed container, or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Toast hazelnut on the stove, or in the oven at 350ºF/180ºC for about 12 min. Cook sugar to brown color (Caramel a sec). Add vanilla seeds, salt, and nuts. Transfer onto a baking mat. Let cool completely. Break caramelized hazelnuts into pieces. In a running food processor, throw them in and let run until it turns into paste. Praliné can be stored for months in a cool area, or refrigerated. Stir up before using.

Melt chocolates over a bain-marie; stirring up every so often (Do not go over 122/50ºC). As soon as it is melted, remove from heat; set aside. Melt butter without boiling it. Mix chocolates with hazelnut spread first. Add butter and the dried crushed crepes. Spread mixture onto a silicone baking mat, or parchment. Top with another silicone mat, and roll out into an 0.3-inch/0.75cm thick sheet. Do not roll out too thin. Each cookie should weight ≈ 0.9 ounces/25grams. Freeze cookie sheet for about 20 min, or until firm to the touch.

Cut cookie out into desired shapes. Freeze again and transfer hardened cookies onto another tray. Leave scraps at room temperature to soften – and make another sheet. Repeat steps until done. Keep cookies in the freezer until ready to coat.
