In the viral video, a content creator with the moniker AK Foods demonstrates how to make a kunafa chocolate bar. She begins by blending pistachios and then heating butter in a pan to roast vermicelli. In a bowl, she combines the pistachio powder with the roasted vermicelli and mixes in melted white chocolate. Next, she melts milk or dark chocolate and pours a layer into a chocolate bar mold.

After setting this first layer, she adds the pistachio and vermicelli mixture, then covers it with another layer of chocolate. With the final layer set, the delicious kunafa chocolate bar is ready to enjoy. The chocolate is priced at 65 AED (Rs 1,481 approximately).
