A Perth Take on a Global Trend: Inside Our Limited-Release Dubai Chocolate Bars
Every so often, a dessert trend captures the world’s attention - and the “Dubai Chocolate” phenomenon did exactly that. Luxurious, pistachio-laden, and irresistibly indulgent, these creations inspired millions of online cravings and sent sweet-lovers searching for the perfect pistachio fix.
At The Margaret River Chocolate Company, we saw an opportunity to blend this global obsession with our signature West Australian craftsmanship.
The result? Our Limited Release Pistachio with Knafeh and Gourmet Milk Chocolate Bar - a decadent fusion of Middle Eastern flavours and our gourmet chocolate that has quickly become one of our most talked-about creations.
A Fusion of Culture, Craft, and Pure Indulgence
This limited-edition bar layers rich, nutty pistachio with crispy golden knafeh (kataifi), all enveloped in our creamy, gourmet milk chocolate. Inspired by the viral Dubai-style bars but grounded in our own chocolate, it offers a harmonious balance of:
- Crunch from the delicate strands of knafeh
- Creaminess from pistachio-infused filling
- Luxurious sweetness from our silky milk chocolate
Every bite is textured, smooth, and wonderfully indulgent—an elevated treat for dessert lovers, trend chasers, and anyone who appreciates artisan chocolate made with care.
Spotted by The Urban List
The buzz didn’t take long to spread. On 15 September 2025, The Urban List featured our creation in their roundup “Where To Find Everything Dubai Chocolate in Perth.” Writer Indahly Gebert-Tchan praised the bar for its unique local twist, noting:
“Margaret River Chocolate Factory layers their signature Australian chocolate with pistachio cream and kataifi… The bars are slightly lighter on filling than the classic Dubai style, but this just lets the quality of the chocolate itself really shine.”
The feature also highlighted our bright, welcoming venues and the perfect road-trip-ready nature of this treat - proof that you don’t need to travel to Dubai to get a taste of pistachio perfection.
