New Dubai Lindt chocolate flavour hits UK shelves with limited supply
Share:
UK chocolate aficionados are in for a festive treat as the viral 'Dubai Style Chocolate' hits stores just days before Christmas. Lindt has confirmed that its new flavour, Dubai Style Chocolate bars, has officially landed in the UK. However, there's a significant catch - these luxury goodies are priced at £10 for a 145g bar and can only be found in four stores nationwide. The Dubai chocolate trend began to sweep social media in 2021 after Fix Dessert Chocolatier founder Sarah Hamouda's fusion of modern sweets with traditional Middle Eastern flavours and regional desserts went viral.
The Lindt version quickly followed and became a massive hit following its launch in New York, with some travelling globally for a taste. This indulgent chocolate combines pistachio nuts and milk chocolate topped with a crunchy Kadayif pastry. As of December 18, this rare chocolate bar can be located in Lindt Master Chocolatiers stores in Bicester Village, Leeds Trinity, McArthur Glen in Cheshire Oaks and Bluewater in Dartford. Unlike the Dubai Style bars launched in New York, it appears the chocolates now on sale in the UK are missing the decorative streaks of blue and lime green coloured chocolate across the top but seem otherwise identical to its viral counterpart.
It's touted as the perfect stocking filler, and chocolate enthusiasts haven't been shy, with some spending hours travelling to get their hands on the rare bars, which are only available while stocks last. In November, the coveted chocolate bars were launched in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Due to limited supply, some ardent fans braved hours of queuing in the rain for a chance to get one.
