Inspired by the viral sensation that took social media by storm, this 100g bar offers a luxurious taste experience without the hefty price tag.
It will be hitting Aldi shelves across the UK on Thursday, June 12, for just £3.99.

But, as with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Other supermarkets have also jumped on the Dubai chocolate trend.
Lidl previously offered its JD Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate bar for also £3.99, which sold out rapidly.
Waitrose introduced a No.1 White Chocolate with Pistachio Nuts & Sea Salt bar priced at £2.75, offering a sweet and salty twist on the classic.
Morrisons sells the Bolci Dubai Chocolate With Pistachio Kadayif Filled Milk Chocolate at £5 for a 100g bar.
Lindt’s take on the trend is a 145g Dubai-Style Chocolate bar filled with pistachio and kadayif pastry, retailing at £10.
But at £3.99, Aldi’s will be the cheapest in stores.

SAVE MONEY AT ALDI
Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi.
The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April.
The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month.
Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card.
It’s worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged.
Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it’s best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
