Hershey's to the Middle East: Where Philly Foodies Can Indulge in Dubai-Inspired Sweets
In a move that reflects the growing popularity of international flavors, Hershey's has released a limited-edition Dubai chocolate bar, featuring a pistachio filling and pastry pieces called kadayif. The sweet sensation, inspired by an Arabic dessert, has taken social media platforms like TikTok by storm, with fans creating their own versions of the treat.
However, those in Philadelphia will not have to look far to find other creative interpretations of this trendy Dubai-inspired chocolate. The city's cafes and bakeries are now offering a range of sweet treats that pay homage to the Middle Eastern dessert knafeh.
Abu El Ezz Sweets on Bustleton Pike offers a variety of Dubai chocolate products, including bars in milk and dark chocolate flavors. Apricot Stone in Northern Liberties has added a Dubai chocolate bar to its dessert menu, which pairs perfectly with their kebab skewers and salads. Meanwhile, Aroma Bakery's coffee shop and bakery case now features a Dubai chocolate tart and cheesecake.
Kung Fu Tea, the popular bubble tea chain, is also jumping on the trend, offering a drink version of the Dubai Chocolate Wow that includes chocolate milk, pistachio cream, and crispy kataifi.
For those looking to indulge in more traditional treats, Le Souk Market and Mocha Melt Cafe offer an array of Dubai-inspired desserts. Sweet As Fudge at Reading Terminal Market has nine different flavor combinations inspired by the Middle Eastern dessert, including a pistachio fudge with crunchy kadayif filling. The Turkish Brew's coffee shop also features a range of Dubai chocolate treats.
In some cases, the Dubai-inspired sweets take center stage as part of a larger menu item. Wilts Berries, for example, offers a Dubai twist on its classic strawberry cups, topping them with milk chocolate, pistachio cream, and crunchy kadayif pieces.
While Hershey's limited-edition Dubai bar may be sold out quickly due to its limited supply, Philly foodies can now explore the city's diverse offerings of sweet treats inspired by this global dessert trend.
