A sweet treat that went viral on TikTok is now being recreated all around the world, including here in Massachusetts.
The chocolate bar, known online as the “Dubai chocolate bar,” was first created at a chocolatier in the United Arab Emirates. The original version is called “Can’t Get Knafeh of It” and is made by Fix Dessert Chocolatier , a dessert company based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The Dubai chocolate bar, which stands out for its distinctive green filling and texture, first began making rounds on TikTok earlier this year. The original bars sell for roughly $18.50, with a box of six at around $105.
With the dessert’s virality sparking interest in trying it, bakers around Massachusetts have taken to recreating the Dubai chocolate bar. Here’s where you can get them.
What is the Dubai chocolate bar?
The Dubai chocolate bar is made out of pistachio cream, tahini paste and knafeh, a traditional Arabic dessert made of shredded filo dough and sweet syrup.
According to Fix Dessert Chocolatier , which created the bar, it is meant to be a “multi-sensory experience” that combines “the smooth, nutty richness of pistachio crema with the delicate, crispy strands of kataifi pastry, all wrapped in the finest Belgian chocolate.”
