I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, but the Dubai Chocolate Bar is literally everywhere. If you’re not familiar, the viral sensation that’s been taking the internet and seemingly every grocery store on the planet by storm was first created by FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. The original bar features a creamy milk chocolate bar filled with luscious pistachio cream, tahini, and knafeh, a type of Middle Eastern shredded filo pastry. It’s both rich and chocolatey with a subtle crunch from the toasted knafeh and ripe for viral fame.
