One of the latest food trends that’s been dominating the feeds lately is the viral Dubai chocolate bar.
There, the bar sells under the clever name, “Can’t Get Knafeh of It.”
I’ve even seen creators whipping up their own versions in their home kitchens.

As soon as I got home with chocolate bar in hand, it was time to dig in.
Wreckage aside, I picked up the “square” and dug in.
Honestly, I would expect nothing less from a $20 chocolate bar.

However, it didn’t live up to the hype I’ve seen for months across social media.
It provided a fun texture, although it was a little overwhelming.
The bar could have benefitted from a little less crunch and a lot more pistachio flavor.
The chocolate-to-pistachio ratio just wasn’t working for me.
Instead, the filling was almost reminiscent of halva, with an indistinguishable sweet, slightly nutty flavor.
Overall, though, this is a really tasty dessert.
I’d be very curious to see how the milk chocolate version compares to the dark chocolate.
The pistachio could very well be more discernible when paired with a less bitter chocolate.
Do I think the bar is worth $20?
Would I spend that amount to try the milk chocolate version?
I’d probably run to try it.
