I'm in a FB group for our local Costco and at least 25% of the posts are about pistachio cream ("it's back!" "oh no, now it's sold out again!") I once saw someone filling their ENTIRE car with pistachio cream, for making Dubai chocolate. But it's seeing yours that makes me know I have to try it!

Ben. Ben. Ben. After you took one for the team, I decided that I will not make this! I may buy it (but I’m not a chocolate person - I know, heresy) but I nearly got a headache reading about the process. Thank you so much for sharing the results, insights, hits and misses of this project, but pas pour moi.

This sounds more like a Traitors mission than an actual candy bar!!

I heard you mention this on the podcast and said to myself “I hope he writes about this on Substack” 😂

Loved your story (on WWCL recap of Southern House) offering some of your Dubai chocolate to the FB marketplace guy that was too late to buy your router! I plan to make it. Need to buy the mold

Great read! Curious where you found raw pistachio. We were unable to find them anywhere!

Thanks!!
