We Try Dubai Chocolate

As you know, Darrell is always eager to keep up with all the latest comestible trends, so when Lulu found some Dubai chocolate at a reasonable price back in the homeland of Wolverhampton ......... 

....... and subsequently treated him to a couple of small bars, it was emotional, very emotional, very, very, very emotional indeed, as it had been on his chocolate bucket list for ages, ever since he first heard about it and especially when pistachio is one of his all time flavours of choice, especially ice cream.

It would have been soooooooo easy for Darrell to simply lay back on the sofa and indulge himself slowly, but it wouldn't have been right not to share, so he asked if I'd like to try it with him.  

To say I was honoured and surprised, knowing how much Darrell had dreamed of this moment having just one bar of his own bar, let alone two. I'll admit I got a little emotional too, what are we like? 

That being said, each bar was respectfully disrobed ........ 

....... cut in two and very carefully inspected.  The chocolate looked generous, but the kadayif and pistachio filling was not as oozy and generous as Darrell had expected .......

........ however, he wasn't disappointed. The chocolate was wonderfully rich (like Cadburys chocolate used to be) and filling, though not as creamy in texture when  first cut into, became softer as it warmed in the room, It had an everso slight crunch and though hard to describe, was every bit as good as Darrell had imagined.  It was very moreish, but we both knew we had to be restrained, this was a chocolate not meant for the chowing on down with gay and unbridled abandon.

We appreciate that the bars we tried are at the lower end of the Dubai Chocolate price range, however Darrell thought that having sampled this variety, we could possibly cast a little caution to the wind and move up a step or two and try a few other bars, within our budget .......

 ....... in the interest of erm ........ science?

As and when we obtain our next bar(s), trust us, you'll be the very first to know .......... hopefully it won't be that long, as we already have another affordable brand in our eager sights!  Happy, happy days!
