I tested Lidl's new Dubai Chocolate spread and it was a treat
Officially called Della Sante Dubai-Style Chocolate Cream, this follows on from the supermarket launching their own version of the TikTok-famous bar earlier in the year. You may have seen the original confection on the social media platform in the past year or so, as it went viral with many people trying it. Created by Sarah Hamouda of FIX Dessert Chocolatier in 2021, it combines pistachio nuts and milk chocolate alongside some Middle Eastern flavours. Lidl released a £3.99 version of this with the J.D. Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate bar on their TikTok shop on March 20. A limited stock of 6,000 bars was sold out within an hour, with around 72 bars being purchased per minute, according to the supermarket. Due to its popularity, Lidl made the bars available to buy in its stores at the end of the same month. Now it has launched a 190g jar of Dubai Chocolate spread, which can be purchased for £3.99. I was interested in seeing how this spread would stack up to the bar, so I tested it out. I tested Lidl's new Dubai Chocolate spread Back in March, I compared the regular Lidl Dubai Chocolate bar from the supermarket with a more expensive £15 one and wasn't exactly impressed with either of them. Therefore, my expectations were perhaps somewhat lowered for the spread, where I was merely hoping it would rise above being a bit boring.

While you could use the spread on anything of your choosing, I just went for the classic option of putting it on a piece of toast. The spread didn't look the most appetising (Image: Newsquest) The thickness of the spread didn't hinder my ability to cover the surface of the toast, but it didn't look like the most appetising thing to eat either. The benefit of the bar is that the green sludgy mixture is encased in some milk chocolate. Lidl's Dubai Chocolate spread ended up being quite tasty (Image: Newsquest) You don't get that here, with my mum saying it looked like I had put fish paste on a bit of toast. However, to my surprise, the actual taste was genuinely quite good. Recommended reading: It was fairly sweet, and the crunchy parts of it complemented the toast really well. As mentioned previously, I wasn't too enamoured with Lidl's version of the chocolate bar, so the spread outdoes it in almost every way. If you're a fan of the bar anyway, I can imagine you'll like this, but if you weren't quite onboard, this may persuade you.

I tested Aldi's new 'wine of the summer' and almost lost all my street cred I compared Aldi and Lidl staples to big brands – the ones I now can't live without It was fairly sweet, and the crunchy parts of it complemented the toast really well.
