Author Notes
Living in Turkey I definitely do not need to make my own lokum:) Though, for me it was kind of a challenge. Actually, I thought preparation was much more difficult. Since I have chocolate addicts in the family their choice was evident. Chocolate Turkish delight! Who doesn't like pistachio-chocolate combination? With addition of rose water! I recently saw something like this in the shop by the way....so I decided to make at home similar one. Based on this recipe. —Olgalina
