Preheat the pan and add butter.

Chop the kadifi and add it to the pan with the butter.

Stir the kadifi for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy.

Turn off the heat and let the kadifi cool down.

Finely chop the milk chocolate and place it in the microwave for 1 and 1/2 minutes at 800 W to melt.

Once melted, mix the chocolate and add cold chocolate to lower the temperature and prevent marks.

Take a spoonful of the tempered chocolate and spread it on a tray, creating a layer.

Place the tray in the freezer for 30 seconds to set the chocolate layer.

Repeat the process for a second layer of chocolate, freezing again for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

In a bowl, mix the cooled kadifi with the pistachio paste until combined.

Pour the filling over the chocolate layer and spread it evenly.

Add the remaining chocolate on top and spread it out.

Let the chocolate bar set in the fridge for about half an hour before serving.

Melt some white chocolate and add it as a final layer on top of the chocolate bar.

Cut the chocolate bar into halves and serve.
