Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the pistachios lightly in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before chopping.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The glaze may thicken, so you can gently warm it or add a tiny splash of lemon juice before serving again.
