A viral TikTok chocolate has caused a Glasgow café to sell out immediately and have queues around the corner. 

The so-called ‘Dubai Chocolate’ has taken the internet by storm for its unique look and taste as well as its exclusivity. 

It is solely produced and available to purchase in Dubai meaning there has been a scramble across the world for the pistachio-filled “creamy and crunchy” chocolate.

Rude Cookies, a busy café in Shawlands, is one of the only places in Glasgow that has been able to make their own version of the popular chocolate bar, and it has proved to be a hit. 

They have now been making the Dubai chocolate for three months after it “sold out immediately” on the first day it hit their shelves.

Baker and co-founder of the café Magda Lo Bianco makes all the chocolate herself and delivers 200 bars to the café every Saturday.

She said: “Every Saturday there is a long queue, one week it went out the shop, along the street and around the corner.

“I thought what the hell is happening, it's madness, it has brought us so many new customers.

“Every single day people are messaging us asking if we have more or when it’s coming back.

“They always sell out in one day, unfortunately, if you snooze, you lose.”

Initially making the chocolate to try herself, due to her pistachio “obsession” she remains surprised at just how popular it is. 

She said: “I’m shocked I keep thinking this trend is going to die in a couple of weeks, but it’s been three months now and it's non-stop, it doesn’t change.

“We have extra-large ones online, as a laugh I thought I’d make a huge one, like a kilogram of chocolate thinking nobody’s going to buy this, and they sold out as well. 

“There is such a high demand that people will wait for it, the first week we put them online there was 300 people just on a waiting list for a £65 chocolate bar. 

“It’s quite controversial because people think it’s very expensive but it’s a long process and the ingredients are expensive, so most people understand.”

Despite her surprise, Magda admits she “can’t stop picking at it” whilst making the luxury chocolate every day.

She added: “It’s the texture it’s like something you’ve never tried before its creamy and crunchy at the same time, it’s delicious.”
