If you’ve spent any time scrolling food content this year, chances are you’ve come across the viral Dubai chocolate trend. Now, Canadians no longer have to just watch from afar. Lindt & Sprüngli has officially launched its highly anticipated Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar nationwide, and it’s here for a limited time.
After selling out quickly in Europe and the U.S., the chocolate giant is bringing this global sensation to Canadian shelves. The recipe, crafted by Lindt’s Maître Chocolatiers, blends their signature smooth milk chocolate with a pistachio-rich filling (45% pistachios, to be exact) and crispy kadayif, fine strands of “angel hair” pastry that add both texture and a hint of Middle Eastern flair.
“Our Maître Chocolatiers embarked on a mission to elevate the essence of the viral Dubai chocolate trend with Lindt’s signature rich chocolate,” says Ann Czaja, Lindt Maître Chocolatier. “This recipe is a testament to our commitment to precision, quality and creativity, and brings our signature refined indulgence to a global trend.”
The buzz surrounding Dubai style chocolate has been unstoppable, generating millions of views across social platforms. With its decadent pistachio filling and playful crunch, Lindt’s version promises to capture that same excitement while adding its own premium twist. When asked about the popularity of Dubai style chocolate, Czaja revealed that influencers were instrumental in making it a global must-have.
Canadians can order Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar at lindt.ca, with availability at Lindt Chocolate Shops and select major retailers across the country to follow. Each bar comes in a 150g format, making it perfect to share or keep entirely to yourself.
DIVINE’s Take on Lindt’s Dubai Style Chocolate Bar
I was invited to try Lindt’s Dubai Style Chocolate Bar just before it launched in-stores. At $19.99 per 150g bar, you may be wondering if it’s worth the hefty price tag. It comes down to two factors – curiosity and if you love pistachio. I had only tried a dessert, but never a Dubai style chocolate bar, so I was definitely curious. As suspected, it didn’t disappoint. The chocolate is what you expect from Lindt – smooth and creamy. It pairs beautifully with the kadayif, which adds needed texture, and the pistachio filling.
It is heat sensitive, so I recommend putting it in your refrigerator to keep it cool and bring it to room temperature when you are ready to eat it. I liked it just as much cold as I did at room temperature if that is your preference.
So should it be on your shopping list? Lindt’s Dubai Style Chocolate Bar feels like the best of both worlds, a social-media-driven trend elevated by a heritage brand that knows how to make chocolate feel truly special. If you are curious, it is worth the try.
