No matter the challenge, the bakers will have to create bakes that are chocolate forward with all other flavors only as complements to the chocolate. They will have two hours to complete their signature bake of twenty-four chocolate sandwich cookies. The twenty-four should be uniform from one to another, and there should be a correct ratio of cookie to filling. They will also have two hours for their technical challenge to make the chilled dessert called marquis au chocolat. The time may be the issue as the marquis has four separate and distinct components - an airy and light mousse, a rich ganache, a crunchy pistachio croquant and an equally light and airy sponge - each which must be prepared separately and each layer which must be chilled properly before the subsequent layer is added. And they will have three and a half hours to create their showstopper of three different varieties of eighteen total chocolate candies in a box. The three different varieties should be centered on a common theme of their choice tied together by a chocolate centerpiece. The biggest issues with this challenge are the tempering of the chocolate as it will dictate if what the judges first see and taste will be that shiny chocolate snap, and getting the correct ratio of chocolate coating to whatever the filling.
