Lidl's Dubai Chocolate Cream Spread is £4.99

The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form.
That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar.
The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads.
However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop has implemented a strict three-jar-only policy.
One shared a snap of the toast topping on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
Followers flocked to the comment section to tag friends and family in the post.
Lidl has said it will be available "while stocks last" - so you may want to get in quick.
When Lidl launched its Dubai-style chocolate bar back in March, shoppers were queuing outside shops to get a taste.
The Sun spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open.
Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media.
Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99.
Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST
Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop.
It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes.
Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend.
One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar.
The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar.
Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.
Despite the price, it was so popular the retailer had to impose a two-bar limit on shoppers.
Sainsbury's started selling a Lindt version of the Dubai-style chocolate for £10.
Iceland is selling two different bars: the Nelino Dubai-Style Chocolate (£2 for 62g) and Bolci Dubai Chocolate (£5 for 100g).
Bolci's Turkish-made treat is also available at Morrisons.
Meanwhile Home Bargains is selling Dubai Chocolate Cookies for the bargain price of £1.25.

Still Game legend stars in cheeky throwback Irn-Bru advert that brings back iconic catchphrase
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GRANNY reckons folk will be fizzing at her new Irn-Bru advert - as she 'isn't wearing any pants.' Linda Raskin, 83, was cast in the hilarious production alongside a young lad who delivers a rousing speech on behalf of the drink and actor Sanjeev Kohli - who harps back to his days as Still Game's Navid by playing a shopkeeper. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Linda had a great time filming the advert. 3 It was the first role for young lad Davis. 3 Sanjeev is a big Irn-Bru fan. The characters give hilarious examples of what it means to have girders - leading to the pensioner's cheeky one-liner. The pensioner, from Newton Mearns, had great fun riding a mobility scooter and can't wait for her five grandchildren to see her starring in the special ad. She said: 'I told them they better watch it and glue themselves to the screen - granny is on. They all think it's good fun. 'I probably will get recognised afterwards. One of my lines is 'I'm not wearing any pants' so imagine what my friends will shout at me when I go shopping. 'It won't be, 'Donald where's your trousers?', it'll be 'Linda, where's your pants?'' Teenager Davis Harvey, 13, from Dennistoun, impressed Linda in his first role after being street-cast for the ad. The advert brings back the iconic 'made in Scotland from girders' line from 40 years ago that was used to explain the drink's magical qualities. And that's ideal for Linda - as her father was a magician and she worked as his assistant when she was a youngster. She said: 'The mobility scooter lethal was lethal, it was so fast. I felt 15 again. 'I had to throw a can of Irn-Bru over my shoulder into bin and my aim was stunning. Irn Bru announces major shake-up to iconic brand - and some fans won't be happy 'We did it countless times – and I managed to make the shot every time. I've no idea how. Maybe it was the girders in the Irn-Bru making the magic happen.' Linda, who worked at a dentist before attending drama school, joked: 'I remember 'Made in Scotland from Girders' from the first time round and how much it was loved by us all. 'Being part of bringing back is fantastic and a real honour. My whole family love Irn-Bru. 'But I never expected at my age for people to start asking whether I'm wearing any pants, which I'm sure will happen the next time I'm out and about.' The newsagents featured was a shop in Albert Drive, Pollokshields, as The Lucky General creative agency kept things local for their first Irn-Bru production. Sanjeev, 53, quipped: 'Irn-Bru ads have always been witty, had a bit of an edge and they've never been short of something daft to say. "So, I obviously wasn't going to knock it back when they came calling. Especially when I realised 'Made in Scotland from Girders' was returning. 'When I read the script, it felt like a real throwback to the 80s and 90s – and I mean that in a good way. "It was simple but a bit silly and didn't take itself too seriously. When we got together to film, everyone just picked up that energy up and ran with it. We had a right laugh, even when the cameras weren't rolling. 'From a pantless granny to a ginger flying too close to the sun, the ad is funny, but it's also true. Scots are most definitely made from girders.'

Series six will take viewers back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for more heartwarming tales, but this time the scenario the Skeldale gang find themselves in is entirely different. The cast shall exist in 1945, just as the war in Europe is coming to a close. On their way back to Darrowby, they will discover veterinary advancements, expanded families and, hopefully, a future filled by more brightness and peace. Many of the programme's fan-favourites will be continuing their stories, including Nicholas Ralph in his role as devoted vet James Herriot. Samuel West (Siegfried Farnon), Anna Madeley (Mrs Hall), and Rachel Shenton (Helen Herriot) will also be back under the spotlight. Though the stellar acting history of All Creatures Great and Small's new additions is bound to bring something flavourful. Lucy-Jo recently took to Instagram to gush about her new role. "So remember when I got a job I was beyond excited about earlier this year? Well this was it... All Creatures Great and Small. "And I have been stepping into a world of countryside charm and storytelling magic.

The scenery was out of this world, and it was a dream to be working with such a wonderful bunch of people." As well as these three new faces, Gaia Wise from The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, and Jonathan Hyde from Titanic have been revealed as part of the lineup. Viewers in the UK can expect the show to be available on 5 this autumn, but fans based in the US will be able to enjoy it on PBS in early 2026 - and there's going to be a Christmas special. 6 Lucy-Jo sports a short brunette hairdo as Susan in All Things Great and Small Credit: Helen Williams 6 The Aldersons and Herriots are promient families in the show Credit: Helen Williams
