The Secret Ingredient: What Makes Our Pistachios the Best for Dubai Chocolate
Published - 23rd Jun 2025
Why is Dubai Chocolate so popular?
Chocolate bars – they are one of the most common sweet treats globally and seen in every shop worldwide, so why are these new ‘Dubai Chocolate Bars’ taking the world by storm?
The dubai chocolate bars popularity stems from a combination of factors, including: it’s unique and delicious flavour, visually appealing packaging and the increasingly strong social media presence. The bars themselves are made from chocolate, pistachio cream and kataifi – which is a type of shredded pastry – this is what makes these bars stand out so much from the rest. The fillings thick and rich texture are unlike anything most people have seen or tasted before, and the main ingredient – pistachios.
The vibrant green interior is what is intriguing to the world and even down to the smallest details like the drizzle of colours or even edible gold flakes displayed on the bars; it is a key factor as to why people love them so much. The rich and expensive appearance of the bar and the ongoing popularity – paired with mystery – is also the reason why you might not think to pick them up everyday. These bars are being sold at up to £15, but so many of us want to join in on the trend of getting ahold and giving our own rating to these desirable sweet treats. So, what is the alternative?
Top Tips for your Baking
We don’t just want to throw you in the deep end when baking your first dubai bar, we think everyone deserves to taste how utterly delicious they are! So here are our top tips to consider before you get your bowls and spatulas out.
- One of the main ingredients – kataifi. The crunchiness of this filling is so important, so getting the right consistency is key. So, ensure your pastry is perfectly golden before proceeding to the next steps in your baking journey. Kataifi is also known to clump up quite easily, so we would recommend seperating it before use.
- Another key step that you may not see in many other recipes is actually adding a pinch of salt, this will simply balance the sweetness of the filling because no one wants a sickly sweet chocolate bar.
- You want to ensure you have a mold thats deep enough to fit all of that flavoursome filling, the bar is known to be thicker than most and popular for its satisfying crunch.
- Any type of chocolate can be used for this recipe, but dark chocolate beats them all, complimenting the other ingredients and creating that rich, creamy taste.
Why Our Pistachios are The Top Choice
To create your vibrant green paste you will need to source the perfect selection of pistachios, but let me guess you’re asking – How do I know which nuts are the best? We may be a bit biased, but as a fully established nut company for over 50 years – you are in safe hands and we always provide our customers with high-quality savory snacks.
Our roasted salted pistachios in shell offer a crunchy, nutty flavour with a savoury, slightly salty taste. The roasting process enhances their rich, earthy flavour, while the salt adds a satisfying kick. The shell provides a fun, interactive experience, making each bite even more enjoyable and flavourful.
Even though we all enjoy efficiency, you would be making a mistake by grabbing the nearest bunch of pistachios. Like any other food, nuts can go out of date and although they have a longer shelf life than most, they can just as easily go stale or mouldy if they are not stored correctly. We recommend investing online and searching for your best possible match and lucky for you we are right here!
Our pistachios are carefully selected and packed to preserve their freshness, ensuring you get that deep green hue and rich, creamy flavour essential for replicating the true Dubai chocolate bar experience. Whether you’re blending them into a smooth pistachio cream or sprinkling them on top for an added crunch, our nuts deliver the quality and taste needed to make your homemade bars stand out.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the trend, impress your friends, and treat yourself to a homemade luxury dessert that doesn’t break the bank. With the right ingredients, especially the best pistachios, you’re just a few steps away from creating the viral chocolate sensation everyone is talking about.
