The Lindt Dubai Chocolate is being launched this holiday season by Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) as its take on the viral chocolate bar that gained notoriety over the past year on social media.

The chocolate bar is handmade and will make its debut at the Lindt New York Empire State Shop in Manhattan starting Thursday, December 12 but only while supplies last. The chocolate bar is inspired by the original bar created in 2021 by Sarah Hamouda through the FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, which went viral on TikTok with many creators and fans alike sharing their experience enjoying the treat.

Lindt Master Chocolatier Ann Czaja spoke on the Lindt Dubai Chocolate saying, "We’re thrilled to introduce the Lindt Dubai Chocolate Bar to the U.S. for the first time this holiday season. Our Master Chocolatiers have skillfully crafted the ingredients by hand, allowing chocolate lovers to taste the global flavor sensation that’s taken the world by storm in an unforgettable, luxurious experience."
