Dubai Chocolate went viral on the social media platform in 2024 a few years after it was created by Sarah Hamouda of FIX Dessert Chocolatier in 2021. It combined pistachio nuts and milk chocolate among other Middle Eastern flavours which drew the attention of many food reviewers. Now Lidl has made its own version of J.

D. Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate, with it costing £3.99.



They claim the 122g bar is the "cheapest Dubai-Style Chocolate available from a UK supermarket". In comparison, the original Dubai Chocolate bar is listed for £15 on its website . For those who want to get their hands on a Lidl Dubai Chocolate bar, they will need to be quick.

In total, there will be 6,000 available to buy on Lidl's TikTok shop from 9am on Thursday, March 20. These will be available as stocks last so shoppers may not have another opportunity once they are sold out. (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs = d.
