Toast katifi in a pan over medium heat with some butter until evenly toasted and crunchy.

Remove katifi from the freezer and let it come to room temperature before toasting.

Once toasted, set the katifi aside to cool.

Mix cooled katifi with pistachio cream and tahini until combined.

Fill deep molds with a layer of milk chocolate.

Add the katifi, pistachio, and tahini filling into the molds, ensuring to push it into all corners.

Tap the molds to remove air bubbles from the filling.

Scrape the top of the molds with a bench scraper to ensure the chocolate bars are flat and even.

Temper chocolate in a machine to achieve the perfect consistency for setting.

Fill the molds with tempered chocolate to encase the filling.

Refrigerate the molds for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Unmold the chocolates once set, ensuring they are smooth and well-formed.
