On February 6, I shared an exciting find on my Facebook page: a dupe for the viral Dubai chocolate bar at Costco! For just $17.99, you get 41 bite-sized pieces—a steal compared to other options. If you missed it, check out Costco Buy’s Facebook Reel to see the buzz firsthand. But here’s the thing—this chocolate sensation isn’t slowing down. From local ice cream shops to candy stores to even Starbucks, everyone is putting their own twist on this viral delight.
What is the Dubai Chocolate Bar?
The Dubai chocolate bar skyrocketed to fame in 2023 after a TikToker raved about the Can’t Get Knafeh of It chocolate bar, a creation by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai.
Why is it so special?
This luxurious treat features a delectable filling of tahini, pistachio, and kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), creating an irresistible combination of nutty, creamy, and crispy textures.
Lindt jumped on the trend by offering a limited edition Dubai Chocolate Bar—only 300 bars were available for one day on December 12 at their New York City retail store.
And now, Ghirardelli is taking things up a notch! The iconic chocolate brand will be launching a Dubai Chocolate Sundae for a one-day-only event:
- San Francisco: Ghirardelli Square, Saturday, March 8, starting at noon.
- New York City: Empire State Building location, Saturday, March 22.
