Dubai Chocolate Craze: The Viral Sweet Taking NZ by Storm
It started on TikTok, and now it's in your local bakery. The massive, chunky Dubai Chocolate Bars filled with pistachio cream and crispy kunafa pastry have officially taken over New Zealand.
What is it?
Originating from a chocolatier in Dubai, these bars are famous for their audible "crunch" and gooey green pistachio filling. The contrast between the snap of the chocolate and the soft, nutty interior has made it an ASMR sensation.
