Do I need a chocolate mold to make Dubai chocolate?

A silicone bar mold makes the process much easier and produces professional-looking bars, but it's not strictly required. Alternatives include: lining a small loaf pan with plastic wrap, free-forming bars on parchment by building up layers with a spatula, or using an ice cube tray for bite-size pieces. The key is having a smooth surface for the chocolate to set against and a consistent depth for even layering.
