New $4 Dubai-style chocolate bar quietly lands at Trader Joe’s
- Replies 0
Just when it seemed there were no more surprises in store, a $4 chocolate bar with Dubai-inspired flair quietly appeared on the shelves.
This unexpected treat blends rich flavors with a touch of luxury, drawing attention from curious shoppers.
Early buzz suggests it’s more than just eye-catching packaging. With its international twist and indulgent feel, it’s quickly becoming a conversation piece.
Dubai-style chocolate has taken over TikTok and Instagram in recent months, known for its rich pistachio cream, hints of tahini, and flaky kataifi—a shredded filo pastry that adds a satisfying crunch.
Trader Joe’s version, made in Turkey by chocolatier Patislove, reimagines this viral dessert with a dark chocolate twist.
Crafted with 50% dark chocolate, smooth pistachio cream, and crispy kataifi, the bar is both exotic and approachable.
Even better? It contains no artificial dyes or preservatives, staying true to TJ’s commitment to clean ingredients.
Available starting May 26, this Dubai-style chocolate bar is set to add a touch of luxury to your sweet tooth routine.
Let’s talk ingredients. The bar is loaded with high-quality Turkish pistachios, known for their buttery richness.
The dark chocolate exterior offers a bittersweet edge that perfectly complements the nutty filling, while the kataifi adds a delicate crunch you won’t find in your average chocolate bar.
Each 100-gram bar is artisan-made, and despite its gourmet feel, the price is remarkably accessible—especially compared to imported confections of similar quality.
The buzz is real. Early reviewers are swooning over the taste and texture. One online user gushed, “Just got one in San Dimas today. I already dusted the whole thing.”
Another shopper was thrilled by the use of dark chocolate, writing, “OMG! It did not disappoint in any way. Everything about it was amazing.”
Others are even comparing it favorably to similar offerings from other retailers:
“I have only tried the milk chocolate praline version from Costco and I like this bar better! It has a nice buttery taste that reminds me of cookie butter but pistachio. It is decently crunchy from the kataifi.”
While this decadent bar is a limited-time offering, there’s a possibility it could stick around. As a Trader Joe’s spokesperson explained, customer demand drives repeat availability:
“We believe that customers ‘vote’ on what they love—and what they want to see more of—with their dollars. In other words, if our customers really love this product, we can certainly get more.”
Availability may vary by location, so check with your local store’s Crew Members if you don’t see it yet.
