Description

An easy copycat recipe for the viral Dubai Chocolate Bar, featuring a fudgy center, crunchy pistachios, and a glossy chocolate top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces chocolate (8 ounces milk chocolate, 4 ounces semi-sweet)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups tea biscuits or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini (optional)
  • A pinch of cardamom
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 4 to 6 ounces milk chocolate for top layer
  • White chocolate or milk chocolate for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang to lift later.
  2. Crush the tea or digestive biscuits into rough crumbs and mix with melted butter, a pinch of sea salt, and cardamom. Press mixture evenly into the lined pan.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add tahini if using.
  4. Fold in chopped pistachios and dates, then spread the mixture over the biscuit base.
  5. Melt additional milk chocolate and pour over the fudge layer. Smooth into a thin coating and sprinkle with more pistachios. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
  7. Use a hot knife to cut into 16 squares or 12 bars, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to two months. Let sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
