What each ingredient does

Brioche bread slices
Toasted until golden, they give a crisp edge and sturdy structure that holds the filling.
Chocolate spread
Provides sweetness and fat, and melts slightly against the warm toast for a soft, rich filling.
Shelled pistachios
Add crunch and a nutty aroma that contrasts with the soft chocolate filling.
