Line an 8x8 inch dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Crush the vermicelli finely with your hands.
Line up all your ingredients (condensed milk, coconut, honey) because this comes together very quickly.
In a nonstick frying pan on medium-high heat, add butter.
Once melted, add the vermicelli and fry for 2-3 minutes only. Keep stirring continuously or the vermicelli will burn.
Then add the coconut and stir for 1 minute more.
Immediately add the condensed milk and the honey and quickly start mixing very well until all the vermicelli are coated (should not take more than a minute).
Immediately take it off the heat and drop the mixture into the prepared dish.
Using a spatula or the back of the spoon, quickly spread and smooth the mixture out. It sets very quickly so you need to work fast while the mixture is hot.
At this stage, if you like, add crushed pistachios or any topping and press into the mixture.
Let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes and then refrigerate it for 15 minutes before cutting it into your desired size and shape. This way you will get very clean cuts.
Serve them as individual bite size pieces.
Store any leftovers in the fridge.
