Once chocolate gloss disappears and becomes dry and each pistachio separates from each other, drizzle the melted chocolate again and mix thoroughly again till the chocolate dries out.

Repeat this process for about 15 times. This will ensure proper coating of the Pistachios. After the 15th layer, the pistachios will be coated nicely in the chocolate and your Pistachio bites is ready!!

Notes:

The first layer of the chocolate coating may take a little time to dry up, but it takes a lesser amount of time with each added layer of melted chocolate. The pistachios should be separated every time they stick together to get a uniform coating.
It is better to make these bites in larger batches as they will consume the same amount of time even if you make a smaller quantity.
