If you’re one to spend hours endlessly scrolling through TikTok, chances are you’ve come across the buzz surrounding the Dubai chocolate bar.

And for those of you who are looking to get your hands on a piece yourself, you’ll be glad to know that this delectable treat is available right here in KL and Selangor.
What is a Dubai chocolate bar and why it’s taking over TikTok
But what exactly is the Dubai chocolate bar? Known as the ‘Dubai Chocolate Bar’ thanks to its TikTok fame, this indulgent creation features a thick milk chocolate shell filled with pistachios and a special surprise: knafeh or kunafa. Knafeh, a popular Middle Eastern dessert, is a crispy shredded phyllo pastry that adds a buttery, crunchy layer of sweetness. The bars are often decorated with edible paint splatter, but the real magic lies in their irresistible filling.
The Dubai chocolate bar originally hails from Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, a venture started in 2021 by British-Egyptian entrepreneur Sarah Hamouda. Born out of her pregnancy craving, it quickly gained popularity as a dessert phenomenon. Alongside the signature pistachio and knafeh combination, the chocolatier also offers other mouthwatering varieties, such as a cinnamon-spiced pastry with vanilla custard and caramel or a rich fusion of fudge and Nutella brownies.

When a chocolate, a dessert and a piece of art meet this is what you get! “Can’t Get Knafeh of it,” “Mind Your Own Busicoff,” and “Crazy Over Caramel.” Order on Instagram Chatfood or Deliveroo and let me know what’s your FIX?

What really pushed these chocolate bars into the spotlight was a viral ASMR video by TikTok food influencer Maria Vehera, whose clip of her enjoying the treat has racked up over 105 million views. Since then, countless TikTokers have either tried their own reactions or attempted to recreate the bars at home.
