Dubai Chocolate offers a fusion of the Middle Eastern dessert, pistachio kunefe, in chocolate bar form. This incredibly photogenic and mouthwatering dessert features a unique filling of buttery pistachio spread and crunchy toasted kataifi dough.
What is kataifi?
Kataifi is a shredded wheat dough typically used for kunefe, adding a buttery crunch to the chocolate core.
