Now that people have seen Dubai chocolate go viral, they're eager to experience the colorful, texture-packed mashups with their favorite indulgences, like Co-op's new Dubai Style Pistachio Brownie.
This brownie features a rich Fairtrade chocolate base, a layer of pistachio and kadaif filling, and it's all topped off with one final layer of milk chocolate and pistachio nibs for extra flavor and crunch.
The Dubai Style Pistachio Brownie has officially launched across the convenience retailer’s bakeries and can be picked up across 2,400 stores, while supply remains. This limited-edition treat will be widely sought after not only because it's Dubai chocolate-inspired, but because Co-op calls it "the first of its kind from any major UK high street retailer."
