Preparation procedure

  • Dough: In a bowl combine the flour, powdered sugar, ground nuts, softened butter, egg and yolk. Work into a smooth, firm dough. For the cocoa portion divide the dough into two halves and stir cocoa into one. Roll out into a sheet about 3 mm thick.
  • Shaping: Use a pastry wheel to cut rectangles according to the size of the metal tubes. Wrap each rectangle tightly around the metal mold so the seam holds. Leave at least 0.5 cm of free space on the other side so they can be easily removed after baking.
  • Baking: Place the tubes on a baking sheet seam-side down. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 12 minutes — watch so the dough only lightly browns. While still hot carefully slide them off the tubes and let cool completely.
  • Chocolate finishing: Dip the ends of the tubes into melted chocolate (dark or white). Let harden in a cool place.
  • Cream: Whip the butter until fluffy, gradually add the caramel Salko and rum. You can flavor half of the cream with melted chocolate. Fill the tubes using a piping bag.

Preparation time

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes + time for cooling
