The viral Dubai Fix Chocolate has taken the internet by storm since last year. The combination of pistachio paste, crispy toasted kataifi and milk chocolate has proven a winning combination. But, it’s super expensive!

The insane price point has inspired many knock off versions. And this year we are finding people re-inventing the kataifi pistachio filling in all kinds of interesting ways. Here’s my version of the viral Dubai Fix Chocolate as stuffed dates. The perfect sweet treat for Ramadaan.
