TJ's Dubai Chocolate -- anyone tried it yet?

  • Thanks 1

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus. -Elizabeth Bangs, writer

If the picture is to be believed - it's got a pretty thick layer of dark chocolate on the top that's going to be a bit hard on the teeth!

I think it's just an awkward illustration.

 

I was finally considering jumping on the trend, but now that TJ and Costco have it, maybe it's too late.  🤷‍♀️

I picked some up today - I like it a lot. The chocolate isn’t too thick, to @Kerry Beal’s point - seems thinner than the chocolate in a Caramello, for example. It’s a darker chocolate, but not too dark, and it’s a nice counterpoint to the filling. It has good pistachio flavor. My only quibble is that the katayifi is not crispy enough, and there’s not enough of it to get the textural experience I want out of it.

Just saw this video… didn’t know that so many companies were making Dubai chocolate items! May still be time to add your own version to the mix.
