Dubai-Inspired Chocolate Becomes Holiday Sensation in Germany

German chocolatiers embrace the Dubai chocolate trend, featuring unique ingredients like roasted angel hair and pistachio cream, with plans for festive adaptations.

• The Dubai chocolate trend, featuring roasted angel hair, sesame, and pistachio cream, has gained significant popularity in Germany, particularly among younger consumers.
• Chocolaterie Stoffel in Bobenheim am Berg is working overtime to meet demand and is considering creating a Dubai-inspired chocolate Santa Claus for the holiday season, though this has not been confirmed.
• Social media platforms like TikTok have fueled the trend, with many consumers eager to try the unique flavor profile of Dubai chocolate.
• Other chocolatiers, such as Trüffel-Güse in Hannover, have developed their own versions of the trend, with some products priced as high as 19.95 euros for a 200-gram bar due to the artisanal process and costly ingredients.
• Despite the rise of Dubai chocolate, traditional chocolate Santas and other festive treats remain popular during the holiday season, as noted by the German confectionery industry.
