That viral Dubai chocolate bar you've been seeing everywhere? This time, you're making it yourself.

You'll begin by learning how to work with melted chocolate before creating the signature pistachio and kataifi filling that gives Dubai chocolate its famous crunch. Next, you'll assemble and layer your chocolate bar, learning techniques for shaping, filling and finishing it with a polished look.
