Tesco is selling another viral Dubai-style chocolate bar, and it's currently on offer
The original bars combine the indulgent flavours of chocolate, pistachio and tahini with filo pastry, taking inspiration from the Middle Eastern dessert, knafeh. Knafeh is a dessert made with spun pastry dough layered with cheese. It's then soaked in a sweet, sugary syrup and finished with crushed pistachios. Fix Chocolatier in the UAE combined these flavours into their popular chocolate bar, 'can't get knafeh of it'.
Although the Dubai-based chocolatiers have been in business since 2021, the chocolate has gone viral this year. Dubai chocolate has racked up more than 120 million views on TikTok, and it's so popular that the £15 bars of chocolate are only available for a few hours each day.
Following its popularity, we've seen Waitrose limit customer purchases on Dubai-style chocolate, Aldi sell out of a pistachio crème, and even international nut shortages. M&S has had to restock its viral big daddy pistachio bar week after week as the whopping block of chocolate continues to fly off the shelves.
Although fans of Fix Chocolatier's Dubai chocolate would say that nothing measures up to the original, many well-known chocolate brands are getting in on the action, creating sell-out bars that offer pistachio lovers a more accessible taste of the goods – well, if you can get your hands on them. Godiva is the latest brand to release a crispy, creamy and nutty bar to shelves. This is everything you need to know.
Godiva's pistachio and kadayif milk chocolate bar weighs 122g and brings together smooth and velvety milk chocolate with the delicate crunch of kadayif, a type of shredded filo dough used in Middle Eastern and Balkan desserts. While not exactly the same as knafeh, used in the original bars, the only difference is that kadayif is the type of shredded dough itself, rather than knafeh, which is the dessert that uses kadayif as its base.
As you bite into the creamy chocolate, you'll experience rich, nutty flavours, with a blend of sweet and aromatic notes, and plenty of crispy texture. The bar sells for £10, but right now, with a Tesco Clubcard, you can get a taste of Dubai's much-loved chocolate treat for £7.95. Be quick, though – we don't expect the bars to hang around for long.

Shoppers rush to major supermarket to shop huge clothing sale with items reduced to as little as 99p
M&S delighted shoppers last weekend by launching sales that saw hundreds of full-priced items reduced to 99p. The 99p sales, which were held at several of the retailer's outlet stores, were documented on social media, with excited customers urging others to 'Run to M&S outlet and grab what you can!' M&S's Wembley Outlet in London and its Warrington Riverside Outlet in Cheshire were among the stores offering the incredible savings. In a video that's been viewed a remarkable 391,500 times, a TikTok user virtually took fans round the Wembley store, where racks of jeans in perfect condition had been reduced to 99p. The mother, who goes by 'Zain & The Fam' on the platform, captioned the short video: 'M&S are selling jeans for 99p in Wembley Outlet! Run don't walk!' At one point, she turned the camera towards a tag, revealing a pair of £27.50 blue jeans that had been slashed to 99p. Another clip posted by the eatandexplore01 account encouraged viewers to 'run to M&S outlet', adding that 'items with sale stickers are now 99p!!!'. The video proves that it wasn't just jeans in the huge sale, but also swimwear, including bikini sets, knitwear, and trousers. Elsewhere, it was clear that dressy tops, blouses and shorts also featured in the special sales, which are usually held to clear old stock to make way for the new collections. People online were understandably thrilled to have the chance to bag so many bargains, with several people asking for the addresses of the participating stores. One person begged: 'postcode please'. Another person had a mixed experience, explaining: 'I went to my closest one but everything was size six and eight, but managed to get my daughter a dress and lucky I got her size as the rest were newborn ones.' A third person responded playfully to one of the videos, writing: 'Girl, you are giving away all the secrets!' While a fourth joked: 'Vinted sellers will buy it all.' A fifth person said: 'I'd buy these just for the material.' And a sixth told people to look out for similar sales from the likes of TK Maxx and Sports Direct. People online were generally excited about the prospect of buying brand new M&S items for 99p He said: 'This happens once a year they all use it to get rid of dead stock. Every outlet, TK Maxx, Sports Direct, they all do this, so keep an eye out. 'The biggest sales [are] November to December where you can literally get things that cost £100+ for less than £20.' At least one person, however, was unimpressed, explaining: 'What reduced jeans prices to 99p? To be honest, I hardly see people wearing jeans anymore. We want cute skirts, tops and dresses as 'feel feminine' clothes!' Earlier today, M&S, whose recent operations have been blighted by serious cyber attacks, restored its popular click-and-collect service for the first time in months. The retail firm – which runs 565 stores across the UK – has faced heavy disruption after being targeted by hackers in April. M&S halted orders on its website over the Easter weekend and was also left with empty shelves in the wake of the attack. Customers had to wait until June to use the store's website again as it opened itself back up to online shoppers in the hunt for the latest fashion ranges. But it's taken even longer to reinstate M&S' click-and-collect service, which allows users to order items on the website and pick them up in-store the following day. The system relies on integrating the retailer's online ordering platforms, payments systems, inventory management as well as in-store logistics. It is likely that April's cyber attack had an effect on these systems' operations and M&S wanted to make sure they were all running smoothly and securely again before reopening the service. The ransomware attack is thought to have been conducted by hacking collective DragonForce and ended up with the theft of many customers' details - which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth. It also resulted in empty shelves after the firm dismantled its inventory management systems to mitigate against further damage by hackers. While its stores have been able to remain open and trade throughout, contactless payments were impacted initially - while there was also some stock availability issues as it had to temporarily switch to manual processes following the attack. M&S revealed in May that the hack was caused by 'human error', and would cost it around £300million. Chief executive Stuart Machin said upon reporting annual figures that hackers gained access to the company's IT systems through a third party. He said: 'We didn't leave the door open, this wasn't anything to do with under-investment. Everyone is vulnerable. For us, we were unlucky on this particular day through some human error.' Four people were arrested in connection with the attacks, as well as separate ones on the Co-op and Harrods. Two British men aged 17 and 19 were detained in the West Midlands and London alongside a 19-year-old Latvian an a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire. They were accused of a variety of offences under the Computer Misuse Act, including blackmail, money laundering and involvement in organised crime. All four were arrested at home and had their electronic devices seized for digital forensic analysis. They were questioned by specialist National Crime Agency (NCA) officers in relation to the three attacks. M&S said the incident is likely to drag its group operating profits down by around £300million this year, but it expects this to be reduced through cost management, insurance and other reactions. The company suggested it could reduce the impact of the attack by as much as 'half'. Also in June, M&S chairman Archie Norman said the significant impact of the hack is likely to 'endure for some weeks, or even months'. He went on to add that he hoped the company would be able to claw back some of the heavy losses from insurance payouts. Speaking in front of a business and trade sub-committee meeting in July, the top exec put DragonForce's motives down to 'partly, undoubtedly, ransom or extortion'. He described April's ordeal as 'an out of body experience'. Meanwhile the annual report revealed Mr Machin saw his pay package soar by 39 per cent to £7.1million for the year to March after a sharp rise in performance-linked bonuses.

B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've ‘never seen' before selling for £1
It comes as other unusual Snickers flavours have been spotted at the discount retailer RARE TREAT B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've 'never seen' before selling for £1 B&M shoppers have spotted a rare flavour of Snickers selling for £1. Customers were surprised to see coffee flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store. 3 Coffee flavoured Snickers bars Credit: Facebook 3 The bars were spotted at B&M for £1 Credit: Instagram/@newsfoodsuk Posting on the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official, a user wrote: "Not sure if these are new, but in B&M and I've never seen this flavour!" One user wrote: "I've been meaning to check out B&M for ages now and this might just be the push I need to go." Another added: "Imported from Australia, I had them over there and so so good I'll need to head to B&M." "I will be trying these," a third wrote. The bar sells for up to £2.99 at online retailers like Bombon and Candy Mail UK - nearly triple its price at B&M. The unusual chocolate bar appears to be a rare find, currently unavailable in other major UK supermarkets. The company Mars Incorporated launched Coffee Snickers back in February, with fans describing it as a bittersweet twist on their classic peanut, caramel and chocolate combo. The controversial new flavour comes after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes. Shoppers learned of the release through NewfoodsUK on Instagram. The bar divided opinions with one user calling it a "win-win" and another saying it was "disgusting". YoCrunch Yogurt Recall: Sharp Plastic in Candy Toppers Prompts Nationwide Warning Mars Wrigley Research & Development director Chris Hutton said: 'We know how much Aussies love their coffee, and after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes, we're excited to bring this new twist on Snickers to life. 'Snickers Coffee Flavour is a proudly Australian-made product, formulated by our local team in Ballarat to deliver on both taste and sustainability, and we can't wait for fans to try it.' It comes after B&M shoppers spotted almond flavoured Snickers at the bargain store. The bar, containing almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, was launched in the US six years ago. But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find. Shoppers at B&M also previously spotted a brownie Snickers, which was another hit in the US. The Snickers bar was introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930 and was named after the Mars family's favourite horse, Snickers. For decades, the bar was sold in the UK and Ireland under the name "Marathon" before being changed to Snickers in 1990. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
