To create your very own Dubai chocolate bars, you’ll need the following essentials:

  • 200 g of dark chocolate (w/70% or more cocoa).
  • 50g shredded milk chocolate (for creamier end these are optional).
  • 100 g Chopped dates very fine.
  • 50 g Pistachios (roasted).
  • 1 tsp saffron strands (optional).

Optional Ingredients for Customization

  • Dried fruits (apricots, cranberries).
  • Sea salt for a savory contrast.
  • Flavoured extracts (vanilla, orange).

Equipment Needed

Kitchen Essentials

You don’t require a high-class kitchen to make these chocolate bars! Below is what you are going to need:

  • A heat proof bowl.
  • A sauce pan.
  • Some chocolate molds or a parchment-lined baking tray.

Tools for Melting and Mixing

A few additional tools will make your life easier:

  • Stirring spatula.
  • A chopping knife.
  • A thermometer – optional for exact melting purposes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing Your Ingredients

  • Start by making small pieces out of your dark and milk chocolate. This will help them melt evenly.
  • You chopped the dates and pistachios, now you’ll measure them out so you will be ready to mix in later.

Melting the Chocolate

  • Take a saucepan fill it with a couple of inches of water and put it on medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  • Then place the heatproof bowl over the simmering water in a way that the bowl does not touch the water. Then place the chopped chocolate in the bowl and stir until melted.

Mixing in the Additions

  • When the butter starts to melt, take the bowl out, and add the dates and the pista mixture. If saffron is to be added to the mixture, add it by soaking the strands in a teaspoon of hot water for 10 minutes.

Pouring into Molds

  • Pour the prepared chocolate mix in molds or make sure you cover the surface evenly with the mixture. If you use a baking tray nothing easier it is just to level up with a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Setting the Chocolate

  • Candies are to be placed on a room temperature for approximately ten or more minutes before putting them straight into the fridge to allow the candies set for at least one hour.

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Bars

Choosing the Right Chocolate

Good quality chocolate should be used in their making, it makes a whole lot of difference. Dark chocolate is the best as it contains a lot of taste and is good for the body.

Storing Your Chocolate Bars

Store your complete bars either under the control of room temperature conditions or the home refrigerator if you like them cold. For about two weeks, they can be maintained as long as one does not eat them before that time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never allow the chocolate to overheat, that is it is not meant to be boiled or melted forcefully but should rather be done gently and with care in order to avoid seizing.
  • Never use lubricants or oil make sure your molds are dry and free from water prior to pouring the chocolate in.

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Nutritional Advantages

Moderation is Key

When gorging through these chocolate bars, please remember that a small portion delivers as it is expected. These should be enjoyed every once in a while as a reward.
