Lindt & Sprüngli has released two new varieties of its highly sought-after Dubai Style Chocolate: Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate White and Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Dark.

This expansion comes on the heels of a successful initial release that saw the original Milk chocolate variety sell out within just five days, demonstrating the growing consumer appetite for unique and indulgent chocolate products.

The Dubai Style Chocolate, inspired by the popular creations of Sarah Hamouda from FIX Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, features Lindt's signature Swiss chocolate blended with a rich pistachio filling and topped with crispy Kadayif pastry.

The new offerings aim to cater to a broader audience by providing options for white and dark chocolate lovers, thereby enhancing the brand's appeal in a competitive market.

The new White variety boasts an ultra-creamy texture with a delicate sweetness that complements the nutty notes of pistachio, while the Dark option features a robust 70% cocoa content, delivering an intense flavour that pairs harmoniously with the sweet filling.

Each bar is designed to provide a luxurious snacking experience, appealing to consumers looking for high-quality chocolate treats.

Stefan Bruderer, master chocolatier at Lindt, said: "We were overwhelmed with joy to see the reaction of fans when we restocked our Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate earlier this year. We’re excited to expand the range further for chocolate lovers to try the popular flavour in new ways."

The complete Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate range now includes:

• New Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate White Bar (150g)

• New Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Dark Bar (145g)

• Relaunched Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Milk Bar (150g)

• Relaunched Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Praline (90g)

• Relaunched Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Bar (40g)

These products are available for £10 each, exclusively online and in select Lindt stores, including the flagship location in Piccadilly Circus, London.

Retailers have already noted the popularity of these items, with some limiting purchases to two bars per customer during previous sales due to high demand.
