The Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar is making its mass market debut from the renowned chocolate brand to help offer even more consumers with a way to try out the viral Dubai Chocolate experience. The bar is crafted with the brand's signature milk chocolate as the base, which is then filled with a pistachio paste and kadayif pastry to give it a nutty, textural profile. The pistachio paste in the recipe is a blend of pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts.
The Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar is slated to start hitting store shelves in the UK in July 2025, but could make its online debut earlier with consumers encouraged to sign up for email alerts to know exactly when it drops.
