In these days when algorithms are mostly making everybody crazy, sometimes the internet throws up something genuinely intriguing.
Dubai chocolate is everywhere – and after watching endless influencers swooning over this new confection really wanted to try it for myself.
The special ingredient is knafeh – a Middle Eastern pastry which is mixed into a creamy flavoured filling.
Maison Samedi Dubai Chocolate Bites are a gorgeously wrapped selection of Dubai chocolates in different flavours.
There is a mix of good quality milk and dark chocolate holding a generous portion of creamy soft filling. The tiny flakes of knafeh gives each bite an intriguingly tangible crunch.
As well as the traditional pistachio filling Maison Samedi has created a Biscoff variety – for lovers of the supersweet biscuit flavoured spread.
I prefer the green pistachio filling – although I would have enjoyed a stronger flavour – but I was delighted to find out what the internet buzz was all about. Creamy, crunchy, luxurious – Dubai chocolate really is something to shout about.
