Equipment
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
- Large skillet
- Large microwave-safe bowl
- Spatula
- Ziploc
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cups shredded kataifi
- 24 oz chocolate almond bark chopped
- 1 1/4 cups pistachio nut butter divided
- ¼ cup tahini
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kataifi and stir until it turns golden brown.
- Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted. Add the pistachio butters and tahini to the melted chocolate. Once the pistachio butter is fully incorporated, stir in the toasted kataifi.
- Spread the chocolate mixture evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
- Transfer the remaining pistachio butter to a Ziploc bag, cut off the tip of one corner, and drizzle the nut butter over the chocolate. Gently tap the sheet pan on the counter to help the layers blend. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set.
- Break the bark into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
Can I melt the chocolate on the stovetop?
Yes. Use the double-boiler method: place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, add your chocolate, and stir constantly until melted. As soon as it’s smooth, remove it from the heat to prevent scorching or separation. When breaking into bite-sized pieces, do I have to use my hands, or can I use a knife?
Either works. If you prefer cleaner edges, use a sharp, straight-blade knife to cut the bark into pieces. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free chocolate almond bark and swap the butter for coconut oil. It will still set up beautifully. Can I add additional toppings?
Absolutely. Try sprinkling chopped pistachios, pecans, or almonds on top. You could also add chopped dates for extra sweetness or scatter mini chocolate chips over the surface before it sets.
