Intro:
“Dubai chocolate” has gone from TikTok trend to supermarket staple, and shoppers keep asking if Woolworths stocks it. This in-depth guide covers availability, pricing, Lindt’s Dubai-style bar, AU vs NZ differences, and what “Dubai chocolate” really means.

INTRODUCTION

“Dubai chocolate” is a decadent style of confectionery: milk chocolate encasing a vivid pistachio-tahini cream with crunchy kataifi (shredded filo) for texture. It was popularized by Dubai’s Fix Dessert Chocolatier in 2021–2024, then exploded worldwide on social media in 2024–2025. Supermarkets (and premium makers like Lindt) have since released “Dubai-style” products to meet demand. WikipediaFinancial Times

Why Woolworths matters: in Australia, Woolworths has launched a Dubai-inspired dessert slice under its bakery brands, while in South Africa, selected Woolworths stores stock Lindt’s Dubai Style bar. In New Zealand, Woolworths (formerly Countdown) shoppers are seeing Dubai-style items at rival chains, with Woolworths NZ yet to confirm an own-brand equivalent at time of writing (19 August 2025).

DUBAI CHOCOLATE WOOLWORTHS

When people ask for “Dubai chocolate at Woolworths,” they usually mean one of two things:

1. A Dubai-inspired product developed for Woolworths shelves (e.g., an in-store bakery dessert slice with pistachio cream and kataifi). In Australia, In June 2025, Woolworths introduced its Dubai Chocolate Slice — a six-pack bakery item created to capture the trending pistachio-chocolate taste experience, offered at an affordable price. YourLifeChoices
2. A branded Dubai-style bar from a premium chocolate maker (notably Lindt). In South Africa, Lindt’s Dubai Style bar rolled out to Lindt boutiques and selected Woolworths stores. Instagramfoodstuffsa.co.za

What you’re not getting: the original FIX bar from Dubai (hand-made, ultra-limited, sold locally) isn’t distributed by Woolworths Australia or New Zealand. The supermarket items are inspired by the format—not direct imports from FIX. Financial Times

SEO snippet:
Yes—Woolworths offers Dubai-inspired options. In AU it’s a bakery dessert slice; in SA, selected Woolworths stock Lindt’s Dubai Style bar. The original FIX bar isn’t sold at Woolworths.

LINDT DUBAI CHOCOLATE WOOLWORTHS

Lindt’s Dubai Style Chocolate translates the trend into a polished, mass-premium bar featuring a pistachio cream (promoted as 45% pistachio) and crisp pastry pieces for the signature crunch. In Australia, Lindt launched the 145g bar at A$20 through Lindt Boutiques (not as a standard Woolworths grocery item). In South Africa, Lindt SA confirmed availability in boutiques and selected Woolworths stores around the May 2025 launch. lindt.com.auNews.com.auInstagram

FIX DUBAI CHOCOLATE WOOLWORTHS

FIX Dessert Chocolatier (Dubai) invented the format: a chunky milk-chocolate shell, neon-green pistachio-tahini cream, and kataifi shards. FIX scaled cautiously—often selling limited quantities, with long queues and local hype. Major outlets (including supermarkets) then released Dubai-style products to meet global demand. But FIX’s own bars have not rolled out via Woolworths AU/NZ. WikipediaFinancial Times

What this means for shoppers: if your goal is the original FIX bar, you’re looking at Dubai (or occasional pop-ups abroad). If you want an accessible supermarket version, Woolworths’ AU bakery slice or Lindt’s SA listings offer close-enough flavour cues at supermarket-friendly prices. YourLifeChoicesInstagram

SEO snippet:
The FIX original is a Dubai boutique product—not a Woolworths line. Woolworths stocks Dubai-inspired items (AU) and Lindt’s Dubai Style (SA) instead.

VIRAL DUBAI CHOCOLATE WOOLWORTHS

Influencer taste tests and dramatic “cross-sections” made Dubai chocolate a visual phenomenon. The craze triggered supermarket responses worldwide—including Woolworths AU’s Dubai Chocolate Slice—and prompted premium makers to create their own interpretations. In several countries, retailers even limited purchases due to demand spikes. YourLifeChoicesWikipedia

Why it went viral:

• The satisfying contrast: glossy shell vs creamy pistachio vs kataifi crunch.
• Share-worthy colours and layers in video close-ups.
• A perceived luxury aura associated with Dubai’s dessert scene. Wikipedia

SEO snippet:
Dubai chocolate thrived on TikTok/Instagram optics. Woolworths responded with its own bakery slice option, while premium competitors released short-run bars that quickly disappeared from shelves.
