THE viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ bar has caused a major frenzy among chocoholics – and demand for the sweet treat has “skyrocketed” in Ireland.
Sugar Plum Sweetery, based in Westmeath, has created its own Dubai Chocolate Bars.
The “Dubai chocolate” trend gained momentum on social media platforms like TikTok, captivating dessert enthusiasts worldwide.
Knafeh, a traditional Arab dessert, gives the Dubai chocolate a nice crunch.
We put Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Irish-made viral Dubai Chocolate bars, costing €9.95, to the test.
The clear wrapping reveals the chunky chocolate with green, gold and glitter detail.
Munching into the chocolatey goodness, the viral cocoa bar certainly lived up to its reputation.
I was pleasantly surprised as the pistachio wasn’t as overpowering as I imagined.
The pistachio, crunchy kataifi pastry, tahini, and the creamy milk chocolate were a dream.
Its unique flavours reminded me of a Ferrero Roche and Kinder Bueno blend.
And the combination of the filling and chocolate ratio was just right.
I filled up quickly on this lush bar but couldn’t stop myself reaching for more.
It’s the perfect choice for chocolate lovers who need a different indulgence.
The award winning Irish Chocolatier said the “absolutely scrumptious” chocolate delivers an “unparalleled taste experience”.
They said: “The most scrumptious handmade viral Dubai Chocolate Bars made using the most premium ingredients including pistachio and kataifi pastry by your favourite Irish chocolatier.
“Try it here in Ireland, even better than the original Dubai Chocolate Bar.”
Owner Denise Buckley said the demand for this bar is “unlike anything” they’ve ever seen.
She said: “Orders have skyrocketed by over 500 per cent, and people are reordering in bulk.
“The feedback has been phenomenal — people are absolutely in love with this bar.”
WHERE TO BUY
The Dubai Chocolate Bar is set to exclusively launch at Avoca Stores in the coming weeks.
For now customers can find the bar stocked in their Mullingar store or order it online.
A large team of master chocolatiers are now working 24 hours a day to produce this liquid gold.
They have had to triple the size of their team over the last two months to keep up with demand
And they’ve even dropped 10- and 20-bar multipacks to keep up with the insatiable demand.
For those who may prefer a little less pistachio, their Bueno Bliss Bar, costing €4.95, oozes with a creamy hazelnut filling.
Those who like a little sweet and savoury, the homemade salted caramel frogs, retailing at €8.95, will take you on a trip down memory lane.
The Mullingar based chocolate factory and sweet shop, which opened in 2022, has caused a major stir on TikTok.
Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Denise and David Buckley said: “Inspired by the magic of Willy Wonka and the nostalgia of childhood wonder, we embarked on a quest to craft extraordinary chocolates that were not just unique but exclusive to our sweetery.
“And there’s more…hidden within the packaging of some of our products are Golden Tickets!
“Yes, just like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, we’ve added these tickets randomly, waiting for you to discover. If you’re the lucky finder of one of these Golden Tickets, you’re in for a treat.”
