Sandro Micheli’s dessert from the 2012 Top 10 Pastry Chef Awards

Daniel Executive Pastry Chef Sandro Micheli's take on a candy bar

I recently found this video we shot of Daniel Executive Pastry Chef Sandro Micheli at the Top 10  Pastry Chef Award ceremony.  This chocolate-centric plate was one of my favorite pastries of the night.  It looks deceivingly involved although it looks simple.  He says it was inspired by a childhood candy bar memory.  Enjoy!
