00:00A chocolate bar from Dubai has gone viral on social media.

00:04Created by Dubai-based chocolate company Fix Dessert Chocolatier,

00:09has literally got people flying to the country to get a taste of it.

00:13The sweet treat is made with pistachio, canapé, tahini spread and milk chocolate.

00:19And for those who don't want to fly all the way to Dubai to try it,

00:23people have actually been recreating the bar themselves from home.

00:26For those people like me who aren't the best at baking their own goods,

00:31there's actually plenty of dupes of the chocolate bar

00:34made by small businesses across the country.

00:37I ordered this dupe from Etsy from company Coffee and Brookies.

00:43The dupe is now sold out but it was priced at £14.

00:46This particular dupe of the viral chocolate bar from Dubai

00:50is suitable for both vegetarians and halal.

00:52This is made with Belgian chocolate

00:55but with a mouth-watering pistachio and canapé filling.

00:59So let's give it a try.

01:04As you can see it's a really thick block of chocolate

01:08which reflects the version that they are duping

01:12which again is very thick, chunky.

01:16And this dupe has a little pattern on the front of hearts.

01:20It hasn't got the lines that you would normally get with a chocolate bar

01:24where you're able to break it off

01:24so I might find that a little bit difficult.

01:27Maybe I should just bite it but we'll see how I get on.

01:30And just on opening it you can really smell the richness of this type of chocolate

01:36and I'm very excited to eat it.

01:39It's actually a lot softer than I thought it would be

01:41so it is going to be easy to break off.

01:44There you can see inside the pistachio and the canapé.

01:48Now for the moment of truth.

01:50I will say before I try this

01:52everyone says it is the most heavenly chocolate bar.

01:56Obviously this is a dupe

01:58but we're hoping we're going to get a similar taste.

02:00A little disclaimer though, I don't actually like pistachio

02:04so it'll be interesting to see if I don't like the chocolate bar

02:07because of that ingredient

02:09or because I don't like pistachio.

02:12So I'm going to see if I don't like the chocolate bar

02:14because of that ingredient

02:16or if it actually is nice enough with all the other ingredients

02:20to make me like pistachio.

02:37Verdict.

02:39That is absolutely delicious.

02:42I think it might be the canapé, the kind of straw-like texture

02:48and maybe the tahini spread.

02:49I don't know if I've ever tried it before

02:51but it actually has given me a real nostalgic feel of Easter as a child.

02:56It reminds me, I'm sure when I was a kid

03:00we used to make these sort of chocolatey egg nests

03:07and that's what it tastes like

03:08so it's really nostalgic

03:10which I wasn't expecting at all

03:12and yeah, the pistachio doesn't put me off.

03:15It's absolutely delicious.

03:16I'm gonna have to go in for another bite.

03:21Yeah, I am sold.

03:23I want so many more of these.

03:24I mean the chocolate bar is huge.

03:26I might have to share it out

03:28but I could easily sit here and eat the whole thing as well

03:30because it is that delicious.

03:33I would be interested in trying the viral one from Dubai

03:37against the dupe to compare

03:39and yeah, that is absolutely delicious.

03:43I can totally see now why this chocolate bar

03:46and these particular ingredients put together has gone viral.

03:50You must try it for yourself.

03:51It is gorgeous.
