Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp colored or white melting candy
  • 2 cups melting chocolate divided
  • 1 cup kataifi pastry chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup pistachio butter
  • 1 tbsp tahini paste

Equipment

  • Candy bar mold
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife or scraper

Method
 

  1. Melt the colored or white melting candy according to package directions, then drizzle it into a clean candy mold in any pattern you like before chilling it until firm.
  2. Melt half of the chocolate and spread it evenly over the bottom and sides of the mold, then remove excess and chill again until fully set.
  3. Toast the kataifi pastry in a skillet with melted butter over medium heat until golden and crisp, then set it aside to cool slightly.
  4. Mix pistachio butter and tahini in a bowl, then fold in the toasted kataifi until the filling is evenly combined.
  5. Spread the filling into the chocolate-lined mold, leaving a small border around the edges so the chocolate can seal the bar.
  6. Melt the remaining chocolate and pour it over the filling, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface before removing any excess.
  7. Chill the filled mold until completely firm, then carefully remove the chocolate bar and serve.
