Unique chocolate gift bar
Who has not seen the now viral Dubai Bar on social media – it has taken the chocolate world by storm. When I finally got one to try, I was both really impressed by the originality of the bar and disappointed by how super sugary sweet it was.
In that great Charles Chocolates tradition, we set out to make what we think is the ultimate expression of that really cool idea.
Instead of sweet milk chocolate, we use a rich, bittersweet chocolate blend that truly compliments the pistachio and crisp shredded kataifi filling. And while we are talking about the filling, every version of the Dubai Bar that I have tried uses a pre-made, very sweet pistachio cream. Given that we were both trying to reduce the sweetness and also stick to our “we make everything from scratch” ethos, our pistachio cream is made fresh here in our kitchens from premium fresh pistachio nuts.
Finally, and because we love to play in the kitchen, we have created two additional flavors that are every bit as good as the original. Try all three – you won’t be disappointed!
Ingredients: Bittersweet chocolate 65% cacao (Cacao beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin, vanilla beans), pistachios, powdered sugar,
kataifi (wheat flour), white chocolate (cocoa butter, cane sugar, full cream milk, lactose, sunflower lecithin, vanilla beans), cocoa butter, salt, colored cocoa
butter.
Contains: Milk, tree nuts (pistachios) and wheat.

I do not think this is a good confection.
UGH! I am so torn because the chocolate is so tasty as I love how less sweet the bittersweet chocolate is compared to all the other milk chocolate bars that are easily found elsewhere. The crunch of the crispy bits inside along with the snap of the chocolate outer layer is awesome! The filling however, is really dry and crumbly and not very pleasant to eat. Pretty disappointed as it was over $32 for chocolate bar with shipping. Maybe the other flavors with the caramel help the filling?
i had tried a different brand and LOVED it, but thought i’d give this one a go. i was so disappointed in the flavor and texture. i got a three-pack of the original dubai chocolate and ate exactly one serving from one bar and haven’t touched it since. it was terrible and so expensive.
I was not a big fan of these chocolate bars. I found the pistachio filling texture to be unsatisfying and felt the chocolate needed to be a little sweeter. Taste is obviously subjective, but I was a little disappointed with the product.
I love chocolate and Charles is my favorite. So many to choose from. I have 5 favorites! Best Dubai bar out there.
