The pink Turkish chocolate bar is filled with pistachio cream and green cotton candy, with the inside resembling human hair.
Morrisons posted a video of the new product to its Instagram page this week, writing: "The viral Angel Hair chocolate bar has officially landed in stores... have you tried it yet?"
But many customers appeared to be revolted by the sweet treat, with one responding: "Eww are you meant to eat that?"
Another said it looked "vile", while one shopper asked: "Is that supposed to be edible? It looks awful?"
Some shoppers even questioned whether the retailer's post was a late April Fools Day joke.
"Is that a real item or is that a really late April fools? Genuinely concerned here," one said.
The 100g chocolate bar is on sale for £5 in the supermarket, and is available both online and in stores.
The 'hairy' chocolate has been compared to the Dubai-style chocolate, which has been viral over the past few moths and contains layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry encased in smooth milk chocolate.
I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick
Replying to Morrisons' Instagram post, one shopper wrote: "Not sure about this one! Dubai chocolate filling is much more appetising."
Like the Dubai chocolate, the 'angel hair' pink chocolate has recently gone viral on TikTok, with many users sharing videos of themselves trying it and giving their verdict.
And while Morrisons shoppers might not be convinced, there are many fans raving about it online.
One fan, Carmie Sellitto, known as @touchdalight on TikTok, posted a video reviewing another version of the "angel hair" chocolate by Tucho Bar, describing the taste as 'incredible.'
He told his 1 million followers: "I've never tried anything like this chocolate before", adding that it was "the best chocolate I've ever had in my life."
Other chocolate news
Godiva has started selling its own version of the pistachio bar in Tesco stores as the brand makes a return to supermarket shelves after five years.
However, the FSA last week issued a warning over Dubai-style products over a concern for customer health.
The watchdog said that imported products may not be intended for sale within the UK and might not comply with UK labelling laws, meaning allergens might not be accurately labelled.
Some products, meanwhile, may contain additives and colours which are banned in the UK market.
Cadbury has been busy too. The Sun recently revealed that the chocolatier was launching a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte bar this summer.
Fans were thrilled to spot a long-discontinued chocolate bar for sale at B&M for a reduced price.
The chocolate block was spotted by a fan when shopping at the discount retail store.

'Aunties,' a powerful new sculpture collection, pays tribute to the women of Harlem
Three colorful figures are now brightening up the intersection of 124th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem: Called "Aunties," these figurative sculptures by local artist Fitgi Saint-Louis honor the women who passionately nurture and embolden the Harlem community. As the artist puts it, "Aunties is an ode to the collective of women, builders, leaders, caretakers, changemakers and creatives who transform Harlem and beyond all while having impeccable style." You can visit the artwork through April 2026. To create the larger-than-life figures, Saint-Louis used layers of wood, then painted the wood with bold yellow, red and green hues. The works are meant to be monumental in scale—like the icons of the community—and they're intended to remind passersby of heritage craft traditions and connection to land. "Aunties is intentionally positioned with open space between figures to invite people to stand with them," the NYC Department of Transportation explained in a press release. "The installation recognizes the continued contributions of aunties to the collective fabric in the past, present and future." View this post on Instagram A post shared by NYC DOT Art (@nyc_dotart) The project was commissioned by the NYC DOT as part of the Community Commissions initiative. Under this project, the DOT works with local organizations to design temporary, site-specific artwork. In addition to "Aunties" in Manhattan, the program also commissioned projects in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Each installation "uses our streets as canvasses to encapsulate New York City and the resilience of its residents," NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez explained in a press release. Here's more about those projects across the five boroughs. Aunties is intentionally positioned with open space between figures to invite people to stand with them. For the Harlem artwork, the DOT collaborated with the West Harlem Art Fund. "Our mission is to bring exceptional public art to Harlem and the surrounding areas of NYC. By introducing modern art into urban environments, we aim to bring new perspectives and voices to a wide range of communities," Savona Baily-McClain, executive director of the West Harlem Art Fund, said in a statement. "Additionally, we include narratives from many diasporas around the world." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fitgi Saint-Louis (@fitgisaintlouis) Along with her sculpture work, Saint-Louis utilizes paint and textiles in her pieces. Her art explores the layered and intertwined nature of identity, remembrance and community within African, American and Caribbean cultures. "Aunties" is already drawing a positive reaction, with comments on social media including, "They immediately caught my eye when I was walking from the train station yesterday" and "When we say art to represent the community, this is what we are talking about." "I'm in awe and taking in this monumental moment. From the page to canvas and now the street, it's here after months of hard work for all to experience. We did it y'all," Saint-Louis said in an Instagram post announcing the artwork's completion. "I'm looking forward to seeing you all with your aunties at the sculpture."

The Duchess of Sussex turned heads when she posted a clip of herself and Prince Harry in a hospital room appearing to be 'twerking'.

The video, which lasts over a minute, is set to the tune Baby Mamma and captures Harry being drawn in by Meghan. The Duke makes an appearance towards the end sporting the hood of his grey hoodie, continuing his dancing. Dressed in black maternity attire, Meghan embraces her prominent bump while dancing, in addition to hoisting her skirt above her knees, flinging her arms, and swaying with hands on her hips and legs. The Duchess had not discussed the public's reaction to the now widely circulated video until participating in a fresh interview on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. In a sneak peek of the show London-born businesswoman Emma, responsible for the brand Good American, sits down to have a chat with Meghan where they touch on the recording, as reported by the Mirror. In the preview, Meghan is in discussion with Emma about the need for authenticity to achieve success and queries the host: "Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance?"

Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that 'I don't give a f***' kind of thing." Breaking her silence, Meghan spoke about the footage, stating: "That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes.

Ben Stiller stopped by this Montreal poutine spot during Grand Prix weekend
Two of Montreal's most iconic dishes got some major attention over the Grand Prix 2025 weekend weekend. First, it was Lance Stroll visiting one of the city's most beloved delis. And now, Ben Stiller was captured in close proximity to one of the province's most famous poutines. The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix 2025 edition was home to 120 food vendors lining the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, offering a variety of dishes. Ashton, located in the Green Zone, is where poutine becomes serious business: golden fries, fresh cheese curds, and hot gravy served with Quebec pride and tradition. Ben Stiller, the American actor, writer and director, was in town for race weekend with his wife, Christine Taylor. While the couple was snapped in and around the F1 circuit, there's one photo that has gone viral. A post on Ashton's Instagram account showed Ben Stiller standing next to a healthy portion of poutine, complete with a fork, and the following caption: 'Ben Stiller and an Ashton poutine in the same photo was not on our bingo card.' Ashton, purveyors of Quebéc poutine since 1969, also published a photo of Charles Leclerc's dog (the Monégasque racing driver who competes in Formula One for Ferrari), Leo, looking down at the circuit with the following caption: 'POV: Leo just waiting for his poutine at the Canadian Grand Prix'.
