Fox's launches new Dubai-style biscuit in UK supermarkets
But the chocolate-coated shortcakes, which have a 'melt in the mouth' creamy pistachio centre, have certainly been dividing people.
It comes as foodie social media group New Foods UK posted a picture of the biscuits spotted in Tesco supermarkets across the UK.
The post was captioned: 'New Fox's Dubai Style Pistachio Biscuits spotted at Tesco!'
One excited account replied: 'Wow need to try.'
While another who was lucky enough to find Fox's Dubai Style Pistachio Biscuits said: 'Recently tried these! They're quite nice, I mean.. you can never go wrong with a @foxsbiscuits right?'
However, some weren't the biggest fans, as this person shared: 'They're okay, but definitely NOT worth the money.'
Another put: 'I got these the other day. They just taste like chocolate. Not getting any pistachio flavour.'
Others also seem to be fed up with the Dubai chocolate trend, as one commented: 'What is it with this craze. They all taste disgusting.'
Have you managed to try the biscuits yet? Let us know in the comments below.

What is Dubai chocolate?
Although many big brands have created their own twist on Dubai chocolate this year, it's usually a chocolate-filled shell with pistachio cream, tahini, and crunchy kataifi (shredded filo dough).
Kataifi is the main ingredient used in knafeh, which is a Middle Eastern dessert with crispy, stringy pastry, layered with a sweet cheese filling.
The original Dubai chocolate was launched by Dubai-based FIX Dessert Chocolatier in 2022.

In her emotional words she wrote: "Our Darling Teddy has his wheels. read more stacey solomon CUT LOOSE? Stacey Solomon has been noticeably absent from Loose Women - pals reveal why "We have spent the last few days trying to teach teddy a new way of getting around & he's finally learning to love his wheels. "He was very nervous at first but seeing him today walking around with Peanut again was so special." In a plea to fans Stacey, who was seen supporting Teddy with his adventures in the garden, pleaded for fans for their understanding. She added: "We have spoken to our vet and have bought Teddy some wheels. If we are doing anything wrong please be kind. "This is a totally new journey for us and we are doing our best to give teddy the best life he can possibly have. "So just let us know if you have any tips." Stacey Solomon hits back at cruel troll who branded her a 'horse mouth' She finished with the touching words: "Teddy you've been such an amazing boy. "We know your whole world has turned upside down but you've been so calm and patient and we hope we are giving you the second chance that you deserve. To the moon & back Teddy." FAMILY LIFE Stacey, who has five children - Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle - shares her youngest three with her husband Joe Swash. The couple live at their Essex home, affectionately called Pickle Cottage, along with their beloved pets including dogs Teddy and Peanut, and their cat Princess. Inside Stacey Solomon's Pickle Cottage STACEY Solomon splashed out a massive £1.2million on Pickle Cottage - and Joe Swash didn't put in a penny. She solely stumped up the cash for their Tudor-style Essex property, which is set in 2.5 acres and boasts an outdoor swimming pool. The former X Factor star and Joe live there with Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle. It's not known why Stacey went alone, as ex-EastEnders actor Joe is reportedly worth over £1million, but has also been made bankrupt twice in 2009 and 2013. Shrewd Stacey has shown she's a dab hand at running a wide range of successful businesses including TV, books, clothing and homeware ranges. Her main firm Key Map Entertainments is worth just shy of £3million - and she's also branched out into cosmetics. The former X Factor contestant registered the company Belle & Rose Ltd, named after her youngest two daughters. They currently have their own fly-on-the-wall BBC reality series, titled Stacey and Joe. Viewers have already seen the ex EastEnders actor break down in a candid chat with his wife while discussing the challenges he's faced with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Stacey previously confessed viewers would see 'domestics' between her and Joe. And this proved to be true, as the pair were seen clashing on screen over parenting issues. 6 Earlier this year, the family feared Teddy would not survive his ordeal Credit: Instagram 6 Stacey husband Joe Swash and their family live at the stunning Pickle Cottage Credit: Instagram

Death in Paradise star favourite to play lead detective in new Benidorm-based spin-off series
EXCLUSIVE: Channel 5 has announced a new Death in Paradise-style series called Death in Benidorm - and a former Death in Paradise star is the favourite to play the lead detective Neil Morrissey, known for his role as a murder suspect in Death in Paradise, is currently tipped to be the lead detective in the spin-off series, Death in Benidorm. Channel 5 unveiled plans for the new series earlier this week, which bears a striking resemblance to Death in Paradise but is set in Benidorm. The channel has yet to reveal when the series will air or who will star in it. However, the plot for Death in Benidorm revolves around Detective Dennis Crown, who "has swapped the chaos of the UK for a quieter life running a bar in Benidorm". The series teases: "But when tourists start turning up dead, he's reluctantly drawn back into detective work-egged on by his barmaid Rosa, a crime drama superfan," reports the Express. "With Dennis's real-world experience and Rosa's encyclopaedic TV knowledge, each episode sees the duo tackling a new murder in paradise, whilst trying to remain on the right side of the local Spanish cops." While no official announcements have been made, bookmakers have been speculating about who could play the lead detective, and Neil is the favourite. Neil has starred in popular shows such as Men Behaving Badly, Death in Paradise, and Line of Duty. He played murder suspect, Disco Biscuit, also known as Duncan Roberts, in the BBC drama starring Kris Marshall. Mike Reading, spokesperson at Betway, stated: "Neil Morrissey is the current favourite to be cast as the lead detective in Death in Benidorm. As a household name with a strong track record in other shows, Morrissey brings the right mix of humour, emotional depth and recognisability, if the producers are aiming to turn heads and draw in ratings." He went on to say: "Hot on his heels is Mark Benton, a Channel 5 favourite who could easily fit into the role of Dennis Crown. Benton's everyman appeal and proven charm in Shakespeare & Hathaway would slot perfectly into the tone of a light-but-meaningful coastal crime drama. "For now, though, the latest odds suggest it's Morrissey who looks most likely to be sipping sangria while solving sun-drenched secrets!". Death in Benidorm will air on Channel 5.

Why Giorgio Armani is still the king of understated luxury, 50 years after selling his car to fund his label
Happy 50th anniversary, Mr Armani. Your decision to sell your VW Beetle to buy cloth to found your fashion label on 24 July 1975 changed the way I, and millions of people across the world, dress for the better. When I was growing up, men wore stiff, heavy suits from Savile Row if you had the money, or from the high street – Marks & Spencer and Topman – if you were on a budget. It was a similar story in most countries. But then your first UK Emporio Armani store opened on Brompton Road in London 's Knightsbridge and everything changed. Your suit jackets were lightweight, unstructured and had a rolled, soft shoulder. Some were more like cardigans than jackets. The trousers came either flat-fronted or with pleats, so you could choose the silhouette you liked. You were, as you put it, 'an innovator, rebelling against the formality of tailoring and replacing it with something more modern'. Your soft silhouette proved wildly popular among both men and women. I felt I could breathe – and move – for the first time in the first suit I bought: a lightweight navy two button. It worked for the office and for nights out, including first dates. It was the beginning of a – very expensive – love affair. I moved on to Collezioni on New Bond Street and later your Giorgio Armani boutique on Sloane Street. I bought your slim-fit shirts, ties, a dinner suit, shoes, bags. The caramel leather jacket was a pricey mistake. I thought I looked like a Serie A Milanese footballer but the truth was I could pass for an unlicensed minicab driver in Wolverhampton. I stayed in your albergo above your store in Milan's Via Manzoni and at your hotel in Dubai. I ate in your Nobu-branded restaurant and your caffè in New York – your favourite tortelli di ricotta e spinaci, if I recall. There were sunglasses, pens, watches and fragrances, too. You and I first met on a freezing January day in 2004. You were in your office in Milan, twisting your wire-frame glasses like worry beads. You explained your design philosophy: 'Smart but not too formal, fashionable but not too trendy.' It's one that has never stopped working, whether you are David Beckham or Cate Blanchett. Or me. Or YOU readers. Who hasn't bought, been given or desired something with an Armani label in their lifetime? We met dozens more times in the two decades between then and now as I covered your business for many different newspapers and magazines. You even invited me back to yours – a converted 17th-century 3,000sq ft palazzo on Via Borgonuovo in central Milan – where you introduced me to your two most important companions over the years: your cats Charlie and Angel. (Sorry, again, for pressing the eject button on your stereo, which revealed that rather than the fashionable music you told me you liked, you prefer the Spice Girls.) That was a rare occasion when you did not speak your mind with your characteristic brutal honesty, no matter the consequences. In an industry where most designers are so scared of causing offence and sparking a consumer backlash that they only utter bland platitudes, you were and are a much-needed breath of fresh air. When I interviewed you for The Sunday Times you condemned Prada's 'conceptual fashion' – collections that start with an idea or a theme rather than simply a desire to show off chic clothes that suit the weather – as 'very niche, very elite, snob fashion'. You revealed that Gianni Versace once told you: 'I dress sluts. You dress church ladies.' You lampooned anyone who had cosmetic surgery for vanity reasons, especially LA ladies with comedy boob jobs. 'A small breast does not have to become big,' you said. 'I prefer to look at a natural woman. A woman should be courageous to become older, not be desperate to look younger than her age. With time, a woman's body is better. As a woman goes to work, has babies, she is strong. She has character.' You caused a stir when you exhorted gay men to stop going to the gym so much – 'I don't like muscle boy' – and to stop dressing gay. 'A homosexual man is a man 100 per cent. He does not need to dress homosexual. When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme – to say, 'Ah, you know I'm homosexual' – that has nothing to do with me.' Ask anyone today to name a fashion designer and I'd bet good money they will reply 'Giorgio Armani'. That's because, in many ways, you are not a fashion designer. You consistently create the understated style we crave, and you do not veer wildly to extremes, staging splashy catwalk shows simply to garner social media posts. 'I design for the public, not the fashion industry,' you explained over an espresso in your hotel in Dubai. 'I use my creativity to help people to live my style – a simple, elegant style. Fashion's purpose is to make it easier and more elegant to live. Otherwise what is it about? It's just a game. Worth nothing.' You were true to your values and never gave up, not even when the critics said that 'Signor Beige' created clothes so dull they were 'Gap for grown-ups'. You never succumbed to French bearing gifts. While Italian family firms around you – Gucci, Fendi, Loro Piana, Bulgari, Brioni, Bottega Veneta – sold up to the Paris-based luxury conglomerates LVMH and Kering, you remained proudly independent. You enjoy a joke, too – and when not everybody is in on it, it amuses you even more. When you entertain at your Armani Nobu restaurant in Milan you get the chef to make pasta that looks like sushi because you prefer Italian cuisine to Japanese. You even poke fun at yourself. When I asked you who the love of your life is, you laughed and replied, 'Tantissimi – so many!' You old dog! Mr Armani, you did it your way and introduced me and millions more to la dolce vita. My highlight of your one-man brand? The very late night the two of us spent together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in Los Angeles in 2007, when you introduced me to all the stars wearing 'you' – from Beyoncé to Samuel L Jackson. Grazie mille. Here's to many more years.
