Lidl reveals new viral Dubai chocolate product that shoppers will go mad for
LIDL shoppers will be delighted as a new Dubai-style chocolate product will be hitting stores in days.
The bargain supermarket's Dubai-style chocolate bars were a sell-out hit that had shoppers queuing to get a taste - and now Lidl is launching a tasty chocolate pistachio spread.
The Sun can exclusively reveal the new Della Sante Dubai-Style Chocolate Cream spread will be landing on shelves in a week's time on May 29.
The tasty treat is a blend of smooth chocolate, sweet cream, salty pistachio and crisp Kadayfi pastry for an added crunch.
It combines the flavours of the insanely popular Dubai 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.
You'll be able to get it in Lidl stores across the country.
It will cost £3.99 for Lidl Plus members or £4.99 for non-members.
Lidl has said it will be available "while stocks last" - so you may want to get in quick.
The supermarket is expecting the spread to be extremely popular so it's limiting purchases to three per customer.
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.
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.
Which other shops have released Dubai-style chocs?
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.
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.
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 Trolley.co.uk 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.

Plans for tram-train link to connect 'forgotten' Bolton, says mayor
Greater Manchester's mayor has said towns left out of a new transport funding boost have not been "forgotten", as he revealed plans for a new tram-train service. Andy Burnham said full details of a proposed new transport link that would connect Bolton and Leigh to the Metrolink system via Atherton would be published next comes after the government announced £2.5bn in extra transport funding for the tram network to extend to Stockport and see added stops in Bury, Manchester and told BBC Radio Manchester he wanted "all our boroughs to be connected by a Metrolink style service". The mayor was challenged by listener Alison while on BBC Radio Manchester's phone-in, who asked why the £2.5bn cash injection made no mention of Bolton. She said: "Has Bolton been forgotten yet again? When, when, when will Bolton be linked to the Metrolink?"Burnham said the town had not been "cut out of the picture or forgotten", and a plan to connect Bolton and Leigh to the Metrolink service via Atherton would be published next month. This would see the use of tram-trains, able to operate both on tram tracks and existing rail lines, he said. 'Attractive place' The mayor said the reason Bolton had not been included in the chancellor's announcement was that transport schemes elsewhere in the region were "more viable at this moment in time. "He also said that rail passengers would see other, non-infrastructure changes in Bolton said: "Two rail lines which connect via Bolton are coming into the Bee Network by 2028."That means Bolton will all of a sudden be a very attractive place from a travel point of view."Passengers will be able to tap in at Bolton station and they'll be in the Bee Network cap. That's going to be a change that comes quicker than any new infrastructure."In effect, those services will be like Metrolink, they'll be quicker and passengers will be in the same system."

Major supermarket is selling HUGE 4.5kg Toblerone bar for Father's Day – and it's the cheapest around
MORRISONS have just launched a GIGANTIC Toblerone bar just in time for Father's Day - for the cheapest price around. The bar weighs 4.5kg which is over 12 times bigger than the traditional size bar and heavier than the average new born baby. 3 The limited-edition bar is in stores now and will be until Sunday June 15, 2025 making it the perfect present for Father's day. While the bar weighs in at a hefty weight, so does the price, with the bar on offer at £60 for customers with a More Card. However, those without a More Card will have to pay the full price of £80. The chocolate bar is only available in store at Morrisons but is also currently sold on Amazon for £69.99. This is not the first time that the giant chocolate bar has been released to the public as it was previously stocked in 2017. as they released supersized items for the period. The supermarket is replicating the same trick this year for Father's Day as they sell more big items alongside the Toblerone. A limited edition footlong sausage roll, baked fresh in store everyday, will also be available for just £2 until June 15. Alongside the supersized Toblerone and sausage roll Morrisons have a Father's Day range of indulgent bakery sweet treats, corking deals on beer and ale, and further gifts and cards. 3 3 This announcement follows public outrage at the supermarket after they encouraged customers to spend more but then ran out of promised rewards. The retail giant introduced a special offer in February offering free or discounted luxury kitchen essentials in exchange for spending certain amounts. Customers earn one More Card stamp for each £10 spent in-store. Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one? MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop. Here we round up what saving programmes you'll find at the big brands. Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don't collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save. Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don't collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till. Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app. Sainsbury's: While Sainsbury's doesn't have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point. Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers - 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point. Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn't allow you to collect points but instead you'll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store. Once shoppers have earned 15 - the equivalent of spending £150 - they can unlock discounts on an array of top quality Pyrex kitchen containers. Or, once reaching 30 stamps or above, the items become free depending on the value of the Pyrex product. One disgruntled customer said: 'How frustrating after saving for dishes in your offer (Pyrex vacuum dishes) to be told that the store doesn't have any…. 'Bad planning on your part and annoying for loyal customers who are supporting you.' In Morrisons Eccles store in Salford, Manchester, a woman was recorded hurling items at the self checkout before throwing another customer to the floor. The police were called to the scene and eventually arrested one woman at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer on June 3, 2025. A Morrisons spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
