I'm not sure if I can pour tempered chocolate on Silpat and then cut out what I need. Would this ruin my Silpat? Anyone?

I wouldn't put tempered chocolate on silpat and cut it out, mainly because I would not want to risk cutting into the silpat. It would also be very awkward for making the 'collars'. While I've never tried it, I also suspect you would not get the extra shine that occurs when you use acetate.

I've poured chocolate on Silpats for making chocolate bark and scored it before the chocolate was fully set. It worked quite well but I didn't cut down all the way through and the Silpat facing side was not shiny.

Not wanting to mess with the acetate is the only reason I've never tried making Plaisir Sucre, alhtough I drool every time I see the recipe in Herme's book!

Has anyone ever tried making a modified version, maybe just using the nutty base and ganache? Seems like it would make a pretty delicious bar cookie.
