Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pistachio Filling

   • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

   • Mix kunafa pastry with melted butter, spread on a tray, and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy.

   • Remove and combine with crushed pistachios, honey/syrup, and cardamom.

   • Press together until it forms a crunchy, sticky mixture.

2. Create the Chocolate Base

   • Melt the chocolate (double boiler or microwave).

   • Pour a thin layer of chocolate into a rectangular mold or silicone tray.

   • Chill for 5 minutes until slightly set.

3. Add the Filling

   • Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the chocolate base.

   • Press it down firmly to make it compact.

4. Seal with Chocolate

   • Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top to fully cover the filling.

   • Tap the mold lightly to release air bubbles and ensure smooth coverage.

5. Chill & Serve

   • Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.

   • Slice into chocolate bars.

   • Decorate with extra melted chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios for the authentic Dubai style.
