Trader Joe's is Giving This Viral Chocolate Bar Its Own Spin and Shoppers 'Can't Wait' To Try It
I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but the Dubai Chocolate Bar is literally everywhere. If you're not familiar, the viral sensation that's been taking the internet and seemingly every grocery store on the planet by storm was first created by FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. The original bar features a creamy milk chocolate bar filled with luscious pistachio cream, tahini, and knafeh, a type of Middle Eastern shredded filo pastry. It's both rich and chocolatey with a subtle crunch from the toasted knafeh and ripe for viral fame.

In this day and age, all it takes is one video to change the entire game, and that's exactly what happened. Now, everywhere you look, there's some version of the Dubai Chocolate Bar—whether it's shed its usual bar shape and found its way onto strawberries or been turned into a delectable Crumbl cookie. You can find recipes for Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Bars and even tiramisu. Sure, it may not be the OG, but who cares when it all tastes so good?Luckily, if you haven't tried it for yourself just yet, now there may be one more place where you can find the viral sensation—your neighborhood friendly Trader Joe's. That's right, folks. According to the r/TraderJoes Reddit thread, Dubai Style Pistachio Dark Chocolate Bars are heading to a TJ's near you sooner than you think. These delectable-looking chocolate bars swap the usual milk chocolate for rich dark chocolate for a sophisticated twist on the icon of TikTok lore. Fun fact: Dark chocolate is often considered more sustainable than milk chocolate. The more you know!
According to the rumor mill, these bars will retail for just $3.99, and naturally, fans couldn't contain their excitement. 'Can't wait to try this!!' exclaimed one person. 'Please tell me this isn't a joke,' said another. It is, in fact, not a joke. Looks like we might have another viral sensation on our hands with this one.

Valerie Bertinelli Shares the Trader Joe's Snack She's ‘Addicted' to — and Walked Around a Store 3 Times to Find
Valerie Bertinelli revealed she's "addicted" to Trader Joe's Trio of Soft Licorice Twists She shared an Instagram video in which she recalled trying to find them in a store that wasn't her usual location They come in three flavors: ripe raspberry, tropical mango and tart green appleValerie Bertinelli is making a confession about a certain chewy candy. 'I haven't been to a Trader Joe's in weeks, months possibly, because I am addicted to these,' she admitted in a video taken in her car that was posted to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, June 4. The celebrity chef, 65, then held up a package of the grocery chain's Trio of Soft Licorice Twists. 'But what am I supposed to do?' Bertinelli asked. 'I'm driving home from an appointment. I'm stopped at a stoplight. And I go, 'Well, look at that right around the corner, there's a Trader Joe's.' I've never been to that particular Trader Joe's because I don't often drive down this particular street. But I might as well turn left and go into the very crowded parking lot and wait for a parking space." Explaining that it was raining and she didn't have an umbrella, the Food Network alum went on to share her next course of action. 'Why don't I just walk into the store and get rained on so I can look for these particular things that I'm addicted to?' she continued. 'And I don't know the layout of this particular store, because every Trader Joe's is laid out differently. But did I walk around the store three times to see if I could find these, because they're not in the place they usually are, at the Trader Joe's I usually go to?' 'Okay, so what?' she asked viewers. 'And I ain't telling you how many bags I bought.' A description of the product on the Trader Joe's website calls the twists 'superbly soft and pleasantly chewy.' They come in three flavors: ripe raspberry, tropical mango and tart green apple. Bertinelli shared another playful anecdote on her Instagram Stories this week. In a video posted Tuesday, June 3, the One Day at a Time star said she was mistaken for a Valerie Bertinelli lookalike while running a recent errand. 'People are adorable,' she began the funny story. Bertinelli said when she visited a government office earlier that day for some paperwork, she was approached by a stranger while walking out. 'This guy stops me, holds up his phone and says, 'Hey ma'am, anybody ever tell you you look like her?'' she recalled. 'And it's me. And I said, 'Yeah, all the time.'' 'Everybody waiting in line all started laughing,' she added. 'I don't know if they knew it was me, or they really thought it wasn't and that I looked really a lot like Valerie Bertinelli. … We had a good laugh. And I love people.'

How do you get kicked off ‘Love Island' before the love begins? Yulissa Escobar shows us
Want to succeed in reality show love? It might be best to keep your public life free of racial slurs. 'Love Island USA' contestant Yulissa Escobar, whose use of the N-word on a couple of podcasts surfaced over the weekend before the show's rocky premiere Tuesday, was there and then gone in a heartbeat. A mere blip in love-competition TV's continuum of smokin' hot contestants. She used the N-word casually and naturally in conversation, per video posted on Reddit and TMZ. She did not appear to be using it with disparaging intent — but the word is still racist on its face. 'They're gonna get cancelled so bad and not like I care but they should be protecting them from mass cancellation like this by not casting them in the first place,' one Reddit user said. Plus, Escobar had been partnered on the show with contestant Ace Greene, who is Black. Here's how that selection went, according to Vulture: 'The last to choose is Yulissa. I get the sense that someone once called her a 'real firecracker' and she's been trying to live up to that ever since. She has clearly been waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble, so she aims her lips directly at Ace and they lock in. This goes on for a while.' Before 'Love Island USA' even premiered, fans and haters on social media were making plans to vote Escobar off as fast as they could. But the show beat them to it. 'Welcome back to 'Love Island USA,'' narrator Iain Stirling said 18 minutes into the second episode of Season 7, which streamed Wednesday. 'Yulissa has left the villa.' No other details were given. 'I can confirm Yulissa has left the villa,' a representative of the show told The Times on Thursday. No other details were given there either. So viewers are left to connect the dots on their own — but seriously, those are some pretty huge, flashing-neon dots. Nobody needs that kind of attention, right? At least nobody in the reality TV business does. The process to audition for 'Love Island USA' seems fairly intense, with applicants asked off the bat for their social media usernames and quizzed as to whether they have an OnlyFans page or have ever done porn (sorry, they call it 'Adult Film'). The casting company also wants to know whether prospects have ever cheated on anyone, the location and meaning of any tattoos, whether they have any celebrity friends and whether their parents are still together. There's also this: 'Is there any other information we should be made aware of concerning your application (including anything in your past that may attract negative press or publicity)? If YES, please provide details.' Looks as if Escobar didn't think her language was going to elicit negative publicity? But hey, Greene — who does have tattoos! — is now free to find fresh talent from among his remaining cast members. As for that rocky premiere, 'Love Island USA' fans got heated Tuesday when streamer Peacock posted on social media one minute after the planned showtime, 'WE GOT A TEXT! Tonight's episode will be slightly delayed. But it is worth the wait ... Stay tuned!' A full 40 minutes later, Season 7 got underway.
