Pour the melted chocolate onto a baking sheet (or other large container) lined with parchment paper and level the surface using a spatula.
Mix the almonds with the sugar, butter and gum arabic. On a work surface, spread the dough obtained using the rolling pin and place it on the chocolate as a second layer.
