From hot honey<\/a> to pistachio, there are a few flavours people just haven\u2019t been able to get enough of lately.<\/p>\n

The latter is having a big moment, thanks in part to the viral Dubai <\/a>chocolate bar<\/a> that\u2019s been flooding social media<\/a> feeds for months because of FIX Dessert Chocolatier and influencer Maria Vehera.<\/p>\n

Filled with pistachio cream and Kadayif pastry, the Dubai chocolate bar was hailed a \u2018sensation\u2019 and \u2018fire\u2019 on TikTok after Maria filmed a video of herself trying FIX’s product.<\/p>\n

And it seems the nutty craze isn\u2019t about to die down any time soon, as Lindt<\/a> recently launched its own take on the sweet treat.<\/p>\n

The new bar has proved so popular, that Waitrose has even had to impose new rules for shoppers buying it, to ensure they don’t run out. <\/p>\n

Where can you buy Lindt’s dubai chocolate bar?<\/h2>\n

The master chocolatier launched the chocolate bar in the UK on December 18, 2024.The \u2018luxurious\u2019 chocolate treat is made with milk chocolate and pistachio (45%), topped with crunchy Kadayif pastry.<\/p>\n

The 145g bar costs \u00a310 and is available at Lindt locations in Bicester Village, Livingston Designer Outlet, Leeds Trinity, McArthurGlen (Cheshire Oaks) and Bluewater, Dartford.<\/p>\n

It also recently launched in Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and online at Ocado. <\/a>However, Waitrose has set a new rule for buying the bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Customers are limited to just two bars per person, in order to help regulate stock levels.<\/p>\n

A sign on the chocolate shelf in the supermarket reads: ‘Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate. No more than two bars per person please… because we want everyone to have the chance to enjoy this delicious chocolate. Thanks for your understanding.’<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise it’s causing such a stir though, given the reviews it’s getting. <\/p>\n

Over on social media, chocolate fans have been going wild for the new bar ahead of its launch, hailing it ‘a dream’ and claiming it ‘looks delicious’ and was sure to become their ‘new favourite’. Others simply said ‘can’t wait’, and ‘YUM’.<\/p>\n
