Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sugar to dissolve.
Add cocoa butter, salt and reduce for 5min.
Then add agar agar and reduce for additional 5min.
Remove from heat and allow to set in fridge.
Once fully set in the fridge blend well.

Place all the ingredients in a mixer with paddle attachment and mix on low speed until a crumb forms.
Bake off at º175 for 10 min, run a whisk/fork through the crumb to keep it from clumping and repeat for another 10min till golden.
