As Lindt released its own version of viral dessert, the internet-famous Dubai Chocolate Bar has reached major retailers.
Lindt launched a limited run of Dubai-style chocolate bars at Walmart, Target, Kroger and other retailers on Monday, July 7th. The milk chocolate bar is full of pistachio paste, cadayahu (shred phyllodou), sugar-coated pistachios, and hazelnuts.
Lindt first launched its Dubai-style chocolate bar in December 2024, then releasing it in June. The bar sold out quickly. This is an indicator of the successful success of the bar’s wider launch, the news release said.

The original Dubai Chocolate Bar is called “Can’t Get of It” and is made by modifying the Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The six-pack bar will cost $120 on the revised dessert chocolatier website, and one bar will cost $20.
When the chocolate bar was released in 2022, Sarah Hamouda, founder of Dessert Chocolatier, wanted to satisfy the cravings of Knafeh (a Middle Eastern dessert made with pastry dough, sweet cheese and syrup) and pistachios, as reported by the BBC.
“Can Can Cnafeh of It” first went viral in 2023. Content creator Maria Vehera posted a Tiktok video showing her trying out a gorgeous chocolate bar. As of July 10th, the video had over 131 million views.
Countless brands have created their own versions, or “Dupée” of viral chocolate bars, including Florida-based Balch ($19 for a bar), New York City-based The Nuts Factory ($50 for two bars), and countless homemade recipes from Etsy.
Some brands have released their own Dubai chocolate-inspired products, including the Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake, made with pistachio frozen custard, toasted kataifi and dark chocolate shells.
