Fox's have launched their Dubai-style chocolate biscuits
And to make things even sweeter, they are being sold in Tesco for just £2.65 for Clubcard customers.
If you don't have a Clubcard, the limited edition biccies are £3 per pack.
Fox's is the first mainstream confectionery brand to marry the luxurious pistachio filling with a biscuit.
Originating from the UAE's luxury capital, Dubai-style chocolate blends Middle Eastern heritage with lavish presentation, often featuring ingredients like saffron, rose, pistachio, cardamom, camel milk, and even edible gold leaf.
The craze, which started gaining popularity in 2010, has now found its way to the UK through luxury retailers, travel influencers, and foodies keen to explore global flavours.
Chocolatiers in London, Manchester, and beyond have since begun crafting their own takes on Dubai-style confections, often marketing them as premium gifts or special-occasion treats.
One of the most common fillings is knafeh, which is made from a crispy shredded filo pastry.
Pistachio cream is also spread through the sweet chocolate, adding a nutty flavour to cut through the sweetness.
Fox's biscuits make the flavour accessible for all budgets, and they are perfect with a cup of tea.
Earlier this year, M&S shoppers were delighted when the retailer decided to bring back their take on the treat.
Just like 'Dubai chocolate', M&S' chocolate bar - the Big Daddy - features a milk chocolate shell filled with a scrumptious green pistachio filling.
The supermarket took to Instagram to share: 'Our VIRAL Big Daddy Pistachio is BACK in stock and has your name written all over it!
'If you missed out the first time, we'll forgive you, but don't let yourself miss out again on this heavenly bar of signature rich, creamy milk chocolate layered with gooey sweet and salty caramel, filled with a chunky pistachio layer with roasted pistachios, velvety pistachio creme and a light, biscuit crumb.
'Snack responsibly… or don't, we're not judging.'
The Big Daddy Pistachio is actually an update on Marks and Spencer's insanely popular Big Daddy bar that had shoppers in a frenzy in 2024.
This comes after a Dubai-style product was urgently recalled following a dangerous health risk.
Shoppers were warned not to eat the popular sweet treat.
The Food Standards Agency warned that the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate contains peanuts.
But this is not mentioned on the label, making it a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy to the nut.
Shops selling the chocolate are warned to "immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals".
The FSA said: "The product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts."
Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, "who have so far been uncontactable".
The FSA added: "Don't buy this product, and if you have bought it, don't eat it, especially if you have a peanut allergy.
"Dispose of the product at home and get in touch with your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where you purchased it."

‘I'm a shopping writer and these are the holiday clothes I'd buy for under £30'
From comfy denim shorts to a shell print dress, here are my top picks As a fashion writer it's my day job to scour the high street for the best clothing buys, finding everything from the denim shorts with the most flattering fit to comfy yet chic wedding guest dresses. Knowing what to buy for a holiday can be tricky, especially if you have limited space in your suitcase, plus the cost of a new holiday haul can add up. Since I shop for a living, I've rounded up some of my favourite buys that I'd snap up if I was jetting off somewhere sunny soon rather than getting caught in downpours in good old Blighty. Is that Ibiza I hear calling my name? From pretty warm weather dresses to practical yet stylish summer shoes and bags, I've compiled a list of my favourite high street finds. The best bit? They all cost £30 or less. Boden Belle Broderie Sleeve Top - £22 (originally £44) Boden's Belle Broderie Sleeve Top is now 50% off and is a great basic to take in your holiday suitcase. It's essentially a staple white top that'll go with all manner of pieces from denim shorts to maxi skirts, but the frill sleeves give it a dressier feel than your standard vest or tee. One Boden shopper who purchased the top said: "Beautiful colour, great design - nice bit of fabric under the sleeve to ensure your bra isn't on show! Nice touch - cleverly thought out." One reviewer did have reservations about the top's shoulder detail, writing: "I loved the colour, but unfortunately the shoulders were just too wide and looked odd so I had to return." The top, which is also available in four other colours, is super versatile and its 100% cotton material means it'll be breathable in the heat. New Look Navy Shell Print Satin V-Neck Midi Dress - £22 (originally £37) You can't go wrong with shell and lobster print which are huge news this summer. As a neutral girl I tend to steer clear of anything too bright, so I love that this New Look Navy Shell Print Satin V-Neck Midi Dress comes in a darker hue. The Dress is perfect for summer evenings thanks to the figure skimming fit and flutter sleeves that add a feminine touch. I'd style the dress with a straw clutch bag and some strappy sandals. Whilst I really love the design of this dress, I reckon that the cut on the bust area may come up small if you have a fuller bust. That being said, I like that the dress has small sleeves which is handy if you're conscious of your arms. Marks and Spencer Woven Top Handle Shopper - £25 M&S do an amazing selection of bags, and this woven top handle shopper works great for holidays thanks to its roomy interior and beachy straw-like material. It's also available in pink if you fancy adding a pop of colour to your wardrobe, but personally I like that the neutral hue goes with anything. One shopper who purchased the bag from M&S said: "Excellent bag. Good quality, comfortable strap, very pleased." Another did mention they'd found the bag a little irritating to use, writing: "Ok bag for the price. A little too big for me and has an inside cotton bag that is not fixed, so slips around and needs sewing in." Despite this, I think it's a good all-rounder for summer, especially if you've only got room in your suitcase for one bag. H&M White Linen Shirt - £28 A linen shirt is a summer staple and will work harder than most other things in your wardrobe. Wear it buttoned up with denim shorts for a day out exploring, or wear it over a bikini as a cover-up, the possibilities are endless. This white Linen Shirt from H&M is made from 100% linen meaning it'll be breathable in sticky weather. One customer who purchased the shirt did say as part of their review: "The fabric does have a slightly stiff/scratchy feel but hoping it softens up with wear and washing. I'm also hoping it doesn't shrink when I wash it!" Despite this, the shirt has a 4.7 average star rating out of a possible five on H&M's website. One happy purchaser said 'This is the best linen shirt I have ever owned.' ASOS Design Soft Denim Pull On Short - £22 These ASOS Design soft pull on shorts are a great alternative for when it's too warm to wear rigid denim. Thanks to the lightweight material, these shorts give the same vibe as their more structured denim counterparts but are much comfier. The shorts, which are available in UK sizes 10-18, can also be purchased with a matching top for £24, giving you a co-ord that can also be worn as separates when teamed with other items in your wardrobe. The only drawback I can see with these denim shorts is that they don't seem to have a drawstring detail at the front, only a stretch panel at the back. Next High Neck Essential Shaping Swimsuit - £18 Next's High Neck Essential Shaping Swimsuit is available in a staple black colour or a blue patterned print. The classic design looks chic and shoppers love the costume as it comes in both regular and petite sizes. One said: "Excellent quality and brilliant to be able to buy a petite costume. Please could you do it in other colours." One thing to note is that one customer felt the material was 'see-through' whilst another said it was 'too thin.' Despite this, a different customer was pleased with the fit and price tag, writing: "Fits perfect and the material looks great, definitely recommend. The price is affordable." PLT Square Toe Thong Flat Sandals - £16 A staple pair of black sandals will see you through many a holiday look and the gold toned detail on these Square Toe Thong Sandals adds a chic touch. The sandals are available in UK shoe sizes 3-8 and also come in white. One slight drawback I can see with these shoes is that the thong toe could potentially be a little uncomfortable for those who aren't used to it, but I love the barely-there design. Mango Draped Shirt Dress - £23 (originally £50) Ideal for a city break or beach holiday evenings, this Mango Draped Shirt Dress features a flattering draped detail that gives it a figure-hugging shape without being uncomfortable. I'd keep the look simple and team this gorgeous dress with white shoes and a straw bag. Whilst I love the cut of this dress, if you're fuller busted I think it could mean the dress may gape at the chest if you want it cinched round the waist. However, I do think the dress is a classic and won't date, meaning you could dig it out year after year. Amazon Reoria Thong Bodysuit - £20 There's little worse than wearing a bra during sweaty weather so I love this Amazon Reoria Bodysuit for warmer wdays. It has a thong detail so it won't give a VPL and it has a double lined fabric which makes it supportive. I've tried Reoria bodysuits before and can vouch for their quality. It's currently available in five colours. One shopper said however, that they found the bodysuit 'runs a tad small' though another described it as 'waist smoothing.' I love that the bodysuit can be styled with skirts, shorts, and trousers for maximum wear. New Look Pink Fruit Print Frill Trim Midi Dress - £20 (originally £35) In case you hadn't guessed, I tend to stick to neutral pieces on holiday, but if you like a pop of colour then the fruit print on this Pink Fruit Print Frill Trim Midi Dress from New Look makes it a really fun option. Whether you're hitting up the all inclusive buffet or exploring the local bars, this on-sale dress has been described by one shopper on New Look's website as: "A lovely dress, it's stunning on." Whilst the leg slit may be annoying for some, I like that the dress has an elasticated rear waist for extra comfort.

American buys first Tesco meal deal and people have same comment about his choices
American, Kalani Smith, who regularly shares his experiences of British culture on social media, took a younger relative to Tesco for the first time where one thing left him confused An American teenager has expressed his shock at one particular aspect of British supermarket shopping after visiting Tesco for the first time. Kalani Smith, who hails from Tennessee, USA, regularly shares his experiences of life this side of the Atlantic on social media like a lot of Americans in the UK do these days. The TikTok user with more than three million followers regularly showcases his trips to restaurants and shops - offering his take on all things British from an American perspective. In a new video, however, he took along family member, Devon for the ride to pick up a meal deal and pick out any differences between shopping at home and abroad. "You get a main, a snack and a drink," Kalani informed Devon, who proceeded pick a sandwich. Intrigued by the unfamiliar Coronation chicken filling, the youngster added it to his basket before heading to the drinks. Taking up Kalani on his orange-flavoured Tango suggestion, the teen completed his meal deal with roast beef Monster Munch. Heading up the escalator in the superstore, Devon grabbed a can of Lynx Africa body spray - known back home under the Axe branding. Next, the pair visited the fresh produce section where they picked up strawberries, whilst over in dairy, the wedge-shaped packing of Edam left Devon a little bewildered. Still, the duo weren't done there, and it was the next item that caused the biggest stir. "Why aren't the eggs in the fridge?" a baffled Devon asked. To which Kalani told him: "They don't have to be. They just put them on the shelves, which I will say that when I first came here threw me for a loop. Now it's just normal for me, but it is still weird saying it." After taking their shopping home to their accommodation, it was time for Devon to tuck in. "It tastes like curry," he declared, after biting into his sandwich. "It's a weird mixture, it's not bad - it's just different." The lad appeared to be more impressed with the Tango, however, gulping it down and exclaiming: "Oh yeah! It's got a lot of carbonation, but it's perfect flavour." He concluded with the Monster Munch, meanwhile, describing the famous corn snack as "10 out of 10". Writing in response, one TikTok user joked: "That kid was destined for a British secondary school! I mean, straight up picking lynx Africa off the shelves? Come on now!" A second person added: "He chose exceptionally well. Good job that man." A third suggested: "Now you can get an ice cream or Pot Noodle with your meal deal. I think Pot Noodle would replace your sandwich or pasta or wrap and ice cream replaces the snack." Whilst a fourth praised: "Young legend having an open mind and just trying things."

The rundown Hollywood Premiere Motel just made history
Who says Hollywood is only about skin-deep appearances? Would a place that shallow be able to look beyond the crumbling exterior of the Hollywood Premiere Motel to see the good bones beneath and award it with an invitation to join L.A.'s Historic-Cultural Monument List? The designation came during the July 30 city council meeting, at which everyone seemed to have a one-liner locked and loaded for the first motel to ever make the list. 'It may have a 1.7-star Tripadvisor rating, but we don't judge our landmarks by thread count,' Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez said in a statement. Commission President Barry Milofsky was more skeptical, saying, 'My initial response, looking at the nomination, was, really?' But in a town that lives and dies by good reviews, the motel at 5333 Hollywood Boulevard proudly defied the odds with a unanimous vote to add it to the list. The Hollywood Premiere may be the first motel to land on the Historic-Cultural Monument list, but its architect, Joyce Miller, is only the third woman to have a building make the cut. Built in 1960, the Hollywood Premiere features 42 units and its now-iconic Googie-style neon sign. Like everything else in Los Angeles, it's served as a filming location for a wide variety of projects, including Twin Peaks, Season 3 of Fargo and the Justin Timberlake "Can't Stop the Feeling" music video. The Historic-Cultural Monument List includes a wide variety of Los Angeles buildings, from the obvious (Griffith Park Observatory) to the French restaurant Taix and, well, the Hollywood Premiere Motel. But inclusion on the list does not automatically protect a structure from demolition or renovation. Its designation merely requires the Office of Historic Resources to review permit applications before any alterations, while an environmental review is needed before demolition can move forward. But before you rush out to book a room at the first motel to make the Historic-Cultural Monument list, you may want to skim those TripAdvisor reviews—although, to be fair, the most recent review was written in 2018. "Looks like a snuff film set," one visitor wrote. Well, maybe what's on the outside really is all that matters. It is Hollywood, after all.
