Morrisons is first supermarket to launch ‘viral' TikTok tipple for just £7 – & it'll upgrade your summer garden parties
MORRISONS has unveiled the very first 'Dubai Chocolate'-inspired cream liqueur – and it should help sweeten any garden party.
Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur has been inspired by this year's breakout food trend that kickstarted viral ripples on social media.
The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur.
Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online for just £7 (70cl).
It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat.
The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular 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.
The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads.
However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy.
The Sun recently 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.
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.
FSA issues warning over Dubai-style products
A WARNING has been issued for Dubai-style chocolate products over concerns for customer health.
The FSA issued a warning on June 12 urging customers to remain cautious when purchasing the trendy chocolate product.
It comes after the watchdog identified a number of products that pose a health risk to customers with allergies.
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.
Other products may contain additives and colours which are banned in the UK market.
An investigation is underway as the FSA is surveying and sampling the products to work out how widespread the issue is.
They are also working alongside allergy charities to raise awareness of the risks to customer health.
While they reported that "most" of the Dubai-style chocolates available in UK shops was safe, customers are asked to remain vigilant and to report any concerns to your local authority.
