Our annual chocolate recipe winner this year comes from—wait for it—Dubai…via TikTok…via our Head of Operations, Jordan! Congratulations to Jordan Lafayette with the “Dubai Chocolate Bar” submission. Jordan has been with the firm for 13 years, and while technically she is a Millennial, she exhibits some cuspy Gen Z traits, including her fondness for the video app, TikTok. Evidently the recipe went viral on the platform and we’re grateful it did, and that Jordan found it—it “slaps” as the kids say (translation: it’s very good).
Now, the actual making of these morsels is very straightforward—no baking involved. But they do require some forethought, since you probably cannot walk into the grocery store and pick out some of the key ingredients. Unless your grocery store typically stocks “kataifi” and pistachio cream, that is. Fortunately, these products can arrive on your doorstep in a few days via Amazon. You may also want a specific chocolate bar mold, though any silicone mold will probably work. Please enjoy—as we did—the Dubai chocolate bar recipe.
As a final note, we want to share that this year we decided to forgo sending holiday cards. Instead, we will use the money that would have gone towards cards, printing, and postage to donate to two charities. We selected Feeding Champlain Valley and Turning Point Center of Chittenden County. You can learn more about each at feedingchamplainvalley.org and turningpointcentervt.org.
Happy holidays!
