My review of Dubai Chocolate Bar [View all]

It's milk chocolate with pistachio cream.

Apparently, DC is a "thing" right now and a lot of customers are buying it.

It costs anywhere between $14.99 and $20 depending on the store.

The bar is a bit larger than most chocolate bars. Divided into four wedges. Wrapped in gold like a gold bar.

Soooooo, it's OK. That's it. It's a mild taste, but so much that you really can't taste either the chocolate and/or the pistachio. I've had more peak experiences with Ghiradelli, Lindt, even “Original Salzburger Mozartkugel”.

Don't get me wrong. It's better than a Hershey Bar. But not for $15. I could even understand you trying to convince yourself it's the best chocolate you ever tasted (b/c you paid $15 and don't want buyer's remorse).

I only got to find out b/c a customer bought one at my station, and she took one wedge and gave me the other three. Naturally, I refused, but she insisted that I take it. I broke off two wedges and gave them to two coworkers and kept the last one b/c yes, I was curious.
