Dubai chocolate bars have been circulating the internet since last summer, and now the craze has reached DFW.
If you haven’t heard of this trendy treat, it’s a chocolate bar filled with creamy pistachio and knafeh — a pastry dough layered with cheese and soaked in a sugar-based syrup. Here’s where you can find it around Funkytown:

Java Lounge | 2731 FM 157 N., Mansfield | Hand-crafted from a local baker, Dipped With Love T.X., pair a chocolate bar with your favorite coffee for a breakfast of champions.

Try something different
Instead of a traditional chocolate bar, pick up a Dubai chocolate cup fromMicholandia in Lake Worth or Strawberry Co. Deluxe inside Grapevine Mills Mall. Or try Dubai chocolate baklava from Galilee Falafel.
