Soko-late

 Dubai chocolate.......

What the hell is this new fad

A chocolate bar made from milk chocolate filled with a sweet cream made from pistachios, finely chopped katayfi pastry and tahini.

Dreamt up by a chocolatier in Dubai in 2021.


Thanks to TikTok everyone's suddenly talking about it.  So I had to google, didn't I!!

Now I want to eat it



This is the Greek brand of Dubai chocolate. Now available in every supermarket and small grocery.
There is a catch. Other chocolate bars this size cost around 2 euro. This one sells for over 4 euros.

How long can I last without buying it and eating it?

Hopefully the price will stop me from reaching out to grab it from the shelf!

I've just found out that granddaughter Nels has made this chocolate!! She'll be back this weekend for the big Lenten celebration. 
She will be making some for us... Or else. 

Wait for the next episode.....

    I have seen Dubai chocolate advertised locally but hadn't got around to googling it. Sounds a bit sweet for my taste.

      Really sweet!! Far too much sugar. I keep on telling myself

    My favourite is 75% PURE dark chocolate, with nothing in it.

      The last chocolate I ate, square by square was 80%. But I can see that I'll have to try this if it appears in front of me

      Our chocolatier is returning for a long weekend. She will make some for sure. I just hope she brings it when everyone else is here and I just have a wee taste

    Sounds interesting - perhaps like baklava compressed into a ritter bar? I suspect I would like the baklava more.

      That sounds about right. I love baclava, especially the little bite sized ones. Very dangerous
