The MilkShake Factory Dubai-Style Chocolate Bar has made its debut from the dessert destination as the brand's take on the viral Dubai Chocolate trend that has quickly become a craze on TikTok and beyond.
The chocolate bar starts off with rich milk chocolate that covers a pistachio creme mixed with toasted kataifi to give it a sweet, smooth and nutty profile in every bite. The bar is available now at all of the brand's locations for $5.95 to make it an accessible treat that customers can pick up to try out the taste and texture experience at their leisure.
Founder and CEO Dana Edwards Manatos spoke on the MilkShake Factory Dubai-Style Chocolate Bar saying, "We couldn’t resist jumping on the Dubai chocolate bar trend, and we wanted to give our customers an experience that was just as over-the-top and unforgettable. The Dubai-style chocolate bar craze was a perfect opportunity to take something globally inspired and make it our own. This bar is layered, luxurious, and a perfect expression of what MilkShake Factory does best.”
