Lindt has released a Dubai chocolate bar: Here's where to buy it
The original Dubai chocolate bar is made by FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A six-pack of the bars cost $120. The internet-famous Dubai chocolate bar is making its way to major retailers, as Lindt has released its own version of the viral dessert. Lindt launched a limited-run of its Dubai Style Chocolate Bar in Walmart, Target, Kroger, and other retailers on Monday, July 7. The milk chocolate bar is filled with pistachio paste, kadayif (shredded phyllo dough), sugar-coated pistachios and hazelnuts. Lindt first launched its Dubai Style Chocolate Bars in December 2024 and then again in June. The bars quickly sold out, an indicator that a more widespread launch of the bars would be successful, a news release states. Interested in getting your hands on one of the chocolate bars?

A six-pack of bars costs $120 on the FIX Dessert Chocolatier website, making one bar $20. The chocolate bar was released in 2022 when FIX Dessert Chocolatier Founder Sarah Hamouda wished to satisfy her pregnancy cravings for knafeh (a Middle Eastern dessert made with pastry dough, sweet cheese and syrup) and pistachio, as reported by BBC. "Can't Get Knafeh Of It" first went viral in 2023, when content creator Maria Vehera posted a TikTok video of her trying the luxury chocolate bar. As of July 10, the video had more than 131 million views. Countless brands have made their own versions, or "dupes" of the viral chocolate bar, including Florida-based Bolci ($19 for one bar) and New York City-based The Nuts Factory ($50 for two bars) and countless homemade recipes on Etsy. Some brands have even released their own Dubai chocolate-inspired products, like Shake Shack's Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake, which is made with pistachio frozen custard, toasted kataifi and a dark chocolate shell.

Lindt fans buzz over new Lindor flavour inspired by famed British snack
Chocolate fans are going wild after spotting a limited-edition Lindor flavour in shops which comes in glossy purple packaging and is inspired by a beloved British biscuit There is nothing like tucking into a chocolatey treat when you are in need of some sugar - and Brits are going wild after spotting a rare Lindor flavour on shelves. Swiss chocolatier Lindt is best-known for its eclectic flavours and colourful packaging, and recently dropped a unique flavour inspired by a favourite British biscuit. The chocolate boxes have been spotted in high street stores, and fans are excited to get their hands on it. The limited edition treats come in a deep purple wrapper and matching box and are inspired by shortbread, a popular butter-based biscuit from Scotland. Lindt fans are so obsessed with the new release, they have vowed to fill up their trolley immediately before the treats are gone. The limited-edition flavour won't be around forever - so if you want a box, you will have to act fast. The treats are priced at £5.50 per 100g and have been described as 'milk chocolate truffles with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling.' A post shared on New Foods UK got fans excited recently, and left them rushing to comment their thoughts. The post read: "New Limited Edition Shortbread Lindor! Milk chocolate with shortbread pieces and a smooth melting filling! These are incredible, now available at Lindt stores." "Love this flavour," commented one. One other said: "Would have to try one. I love chocolate and I love shortbread, but not really keen on chocolate shortbread." "I'm going to need to stock up on these," wrote one other. Another commented: "Oh my, will have to look out for these." "These would be so good," added one other. One who has tried them, said: "They are so nice." In another post on Facebook by Snack News & Reviews, which showcased the new product, one individual wrote: "I was able to try this yesterday in my local lindt outlet shop and OMG it was utterly delicious so buttery smooth but also had crunchy bits in it for the shortbread part." "I got a box today," added another. In other chocolate news, one chocoholic took the plunge and shelled out a staggering £360 to sample the To'ak Master Series chocolate and determine if it truly lives up to its hefty price tag. Plus, C osta's summer menu has one showstopper that "knocks Dubai chocolate off top spot", according to reporter Danielle Kate Wroe. Will you be rushing to get your hands on these chocolates?

Move over Dubai chocolate — there's a new craze hitting the shops
For months social media feeds have been flooded with photos and videos of the Dubai Chocolate bar. The filled chocolate treat features pistachio cream and Kadayif pastry and sparked a frenzy after influencer Maria Vehera shared a clip of her trying one from FIX Dessert Chocolatier. A few months later, just about every confectionery brand out there had created its own version of the sweet treat, including Lindt and Lidl. Demand for the product was so high that limits had to be set for the amount of bars you could buy at one time and the chocolate bar was even blamed for a worldwide pistachio shortage in April. Those who roll their eyes every time they see another Dubai chocolate review cropping up on their TikTok FYP might want to brace themselves though, as there's a brand new chocolate craze that's about to be absolutely everywhere, known as Angel Hair chocolate. One Angel Hair chocolate bar has already hit the mainstream, with Noesis Angel Hair (70g) being sold in Tesco for £5, or £4.50 with a Clubcard. It's made with ruby and white chocolate, and like the Dubai bar features a pistachio cream filling. However, instead of Kadayif pastry, it's filled with 'cotton candy'. Food futurologist, Dr Morgaine Gaye, told Metro that this cotton candy is actually what's known as Pashmak, and it's this ingredient specifically that's set to be the next big thing. 'There's going to be a rise in Pashmak – it's being touted as a challenger for the pistachio trend,' she said. 'Pashmak is an Iranian pulled sugar that's reminiscent of candy floss, it's like hair fibres, it's very straight. 'It's similar to candy floss, but it's not the same thing.' So far, those who've tried it have had mixed reactions to the sugary filling, with some saying it's 'beautiful', but a few weren't keen on the unique texture. Helena Smith was a fan, posting on the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group: 'I must say I thought it tasted really nice. I don't normally give in to the hype, but so glad I did with this one.' And Dee Aldrich also liked it, sharing she found it to be 'well worth the money'. However, Gary Hodgson, wrote of the Noesis chocolate: 'It's very expensive when you see the bar is actually tiny. It tastes nice but I found the texture of the candy floss strange in a chocolate bar, like eating loft insulation.' Beverly Waldron agreed, replying: 'I got one from Home Bargains, I'm not going to lie, it was beautiful chocolate, but tasted like I was licking a carpet.' 'Very strange texture,' commented Jacqueline Reid, as Eden Lewis claimed it was 'wayyyy too sweet'. Others admitted they 'weren't sure' about it, or were 'intrigued' but hadn't tried it yet. But whether or not you're tempted by Angel Hair, one thing's certain – you can expect to see more of it over the coming months, according to Morgaine. More Trending The expert believes you'll see it popping up inside of chocolate and cakes, as well as being used on other treats like doughnuts as a 'decorative' topping. She adds that trends like this one and the pistachio one can go on and on and don't tend to die down until they are 'absolutely everywhere'. 'It often seems like something is everywhere because it's all over social media, but that doesn't mean it has actually fully infiltrated the mainstream. View More » 'Until every large brand is selling chocolate or cakes with this filling, and people who aren't on social media or aren't in London are aware of it and are being inundated by it, then it's not really everywhere.'
