KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — The “Dubai Chocolate” craze is taking TikTok by storm! This chunky milk chocolate bar, filled with a gooey blend of pistachio, tahini, and crispy kunafa, has captured the attention of dessert lovers everywhere.

Originating from Dubai's FIX Dessert Chocolatier, the treat, named Can’t Get Knafeh Of It, has become a black market sensation due to limited availability. Many resellers now offer it at steep prices globally. Meanwhile, copycat recipes are trending on social media, allowing fans to recreate the treat at home.

In Malaysia, options include imported bars like the Vilinder brand from Riyadh and local versions from chocolatiers. The viral dessert is also being transformed into various treats, such as chocolate cakes, tarts, cream puffs, croissants, and cookies.
