ALDI’s answer to Dubai chocolate craze is here

We've tried them, and trust us - you're going to want to, too. 

If you haven’t been seeing Dubai chocolate all over your For You page, where have you been??

The delicious treat was popularised in 2024, thanks to videos of pistachio goodness oozing out of milk chocolate blocks taking social media by storm.

Unfortunately, it’s taken a while for Aussies to be able to get our hands on it. But now, ALDI has thrown their hat in the ring - and it might be the solution we’ve all been waiting for.

It’s hereeeee!

The viral Dubai chocolate craze is officially heading to ALDI, with Hugos Pistachio Bombs set to hit stores next week on Wednesday, June 25.

The chocolate balls, which come in 100g bags, are made in Australia from premium chocolate, filled with creamy pistachio and crunchy knafeh to replicate the deliciousness you’ve seen online.

But, the real kicker is the price, with these goodies only setting you back $4.99.

The reviews are in

Whilst these bad boys aren't out in stores yet, the Kidspot team got the chance to test them out a little early this week - and we're obsessed.

"They kind of remind me of Maltesers, but pistachio flavour," said Liz.

"I'd buy them!"

"That tastes like heaven," Lauren said.

Content creators are loving them, too.

@nectoriouspapi took to TikTok this week to share his thoughts.

“Not a lot of knafeh in this one, so I was expecting more crunch as you do with the Dubai chocolate. It’s still there, but a lot more finer,” he said in his review.

“The milk chocolate’s a little bit overpowering, I feel like these would have worked better with white chocolate on the outside.

“In saying that, still delicious!”

@eatingupwiththehannashians also gave rave reviews.

“You can see the pistachio and the crunchy knafeh in there,” they said.

“This is bomb. Hugos, you’ve outdone yourself with this!”

Thank you, ALDI!

This isn’t the first time an ALDI dessert has taken the internet by storm.

Recently, social media lit up with news that ALDI had just dropped a limited edition Mousse with Biscoff Spread. The two-pack treat was being sold for $4.99 and it was on everyone's "must-devour now" list.

And, spoiler alert, it’s absolutely delicious!
