Place the frame on the lined baking sheet or the silicone baking mat, or prepare the brownie pan.

Chop the chocolate.

In a saucepan, heat the water and glucose, and stir in the 1 ¼ cups (240 g) sugar.

Dip a pastry brush in water and brush the sugar crystals away from the sides to dissolve all the sugar. Bring the mixture to a temperature of 350°F (180°C) (1).
