If you’re wandering the streets of Dubai and see a glossy wrapper with a palm‑tree logo, you’ve probably spotted the Dubai Chocolate Bar. It’s a local favorite that mixes smooth milk chocolate with a hint of Arabian spice, and it’s become a go‑to snack for both tourists and residents.
First launched in 2018, the bar comes in three main flavors: classic caramel, pistachio‑rose, and a daring saffron‑dark chocolate. Each one balances sweet and nutty notes without being overly sugary, making it perfect for a quick energy boost during a busy day at the mall or a pit stop before a race at Yas Marina.
You can pick up the bar at most major supermarkets like Carrefour, Spinneys, and Waitrose. Smaller boutique stores in Al Fahidi and the Dubai Design District also stock limited‑edition batches, especially around holidays. If you prefer online shopping, the official website ships across the UAE and even offers a sampler pack for newcomers.
Prices range from AED 5 for a single bar to AED 45 for a gift box of eight. The gift box includes a small booklet that tells the story behind each flavor – a nice touch if you’re buying it for a friend who loves both chocolate and travel.
Chocolate can melt quickly in Dubai’s heat, so keep the bar in a cool, dark place or a refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for 10‑15 minutes before eating to bring back the full flavor. Pair the pistachio‑rose bar with a cup of Arabic coffee for a classic combo, or enjoy the saffron‑dark version with a glass of chilled mint tea.
Many fans also use the bar in desserts – crumble it over ice cream, melt it for a sauce, or dip fresh fruit. It’s a versatile ingredient that adds a luxurious Middle‑Eastern twist to ordinary treats.
Overall, the Dubai Chocolate Bar is more than just a snack; it’s a small piece of local culture wrapped in chocolate. Whether you’re grabbing one on the go, gifting a box, or experimenting in the kitchen, you’ll get a taste of Dubai’s sweet side without breaking the bank.
