Hi All

I want to make a chocolate bar with a baked biscuit base, caramel middle and marshmallow top. I would like to assemble as one and then cut on my guitar cutter. Does any know of a thin baked biscuit recipe that can be cut on a guitar cutter without crumbling or breaking up or breaking my guitar strings?

Stupid question but I take it that you mean biscuit as in crisp cookie and not biscuit as in cat's head? 

Yes I am thinking like a sable breton or something similar

I would not risk my guitar on a baked biscuit (if you ever had to replace a wire, you know what I mean).  I also think cutting the biscuit risks having it break into bits.  Instead I would make a "praliné" (as some people call it).  This technique requires a bar mold.  Bake the biscuits, grind them into crumbs, add some melted cocoa butter and whatever kind of chocolate that fits with the flavors in the bar.  Pipe that into the bar mold on top of the other fillings.  If your proportions are correct, the crisp layer will firm up.  This way you have your desired layer without endangering the guitar, and you also get the flavor that was in the biscuit.  If you don't want to use a mold, you can pour the crispy layer onto a flat surface and wait for just the right consistency to cut it into the same size as you want the finished product to be.  I can send you a recipe showing the proportions for the crispy layer if you need that.  I realize this is not exactly what you were aiming for, but it does avoid endangering wires.
