One shopper revealed the new bar could be found in stores(Image: Joseph Raynor/ Nottingham Post)The new Kadayif Chocolate with Pistachio bar follows a number of pistachio-filled chocolate bars to hit supermarket shelves in the last month. Inspired by a middle-eastern treat which went viral on social media in recent months, these bars have been dubbed as ‘Dubai-style’.
Since landing on supermarket shelves ‘Dubai-style’ chocolate has started a craze with both Lidl and Waitrose stores imposing a two-per-customer restriction on their bars.
While Iceland’s new chocolate bar faced criticism from many for its price, one shopper took to Facebook to praise Iceland’s ‘Dubai-style’ chocolate bar for being cheaper than others.
Shopper Chris Staniford wrote : “Glad to see a cheaper version. I paid £13 for a bar of the Dubai one.”
Iceland’s new ‘Dubai-style’ chocolate bar comes in £5 cheaper than other retailer Waitrose, who have stocked the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio and Kadayif bar at £10, while Lidl offered their J.D. Gross Dubai Style Chocolate at £3.99 for Lidl Plus customers.
