Add pistachio paste and tahini to the vermicelli and mix well.

Allow the mixture to cool completely.

Melt some white chocolate and drizzle it into the mold.

Add green coloring to the melted white chocolate and drizzle it into the mold as well.

Temper some milk and dark chocolate and let it cool.

Pour the tempered milk and dark chocolate into the mold and let it chill.
