STRATHAM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To make the holiday season even brighter, Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) today announced its first ever U.S. debut of Lindt Dubai Chocolate, which will be available for New York City locals and visitors to taste and purchase during an in-store celebration on Thursday, Dec. 12.

Available in a limited quantity, the handmade Lindt Dubai Chocolate will debut in the Lindt New York Empire State Shop in Manhattan at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12 until they sell out. The bars – delivered in high-quality, luxurious packaging – will retail for $14.99 each. Additionally, each guest who purchases a bar will receive a hand-numbered certificate and complimentary Lindt goodies to enjoy. More bars will later be rolled out across the USA in various other Lindt Retail Stores in limited quantities.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the Lindt Dubai Chocolate Bar to the U.S. for the first time this holiday season, and there's no better place to launch it than New York City,” said Ann Czaja, Lindt Master Chocolatier. “Our Master Chocolatiers have skillfully crafted the ingredients by hand, allowing chocolate lovers to taste the global flavor sensation that’s taken the world by storm in an unforgettable, luxurious experience.”

The first recipe for Dubai chocolate was created in 2021 by Sarah Hamouda of FIX Dessert Chocolatier and gained viral notoriety on TikTok by various creators. Now, the Lindt Master Chocolatiers are picking up on this global trend and are proudly presenting their own recipe. Lindt Dubai Chocolate invites fans across the globe on a journey into the luxurious world of Dubai-inspired flavors and textures.

Packed with exquisite ingredients that are skillfully combined by hand, these Lindt Dubai Chocolate bars make every bite a unique taste experience. With the chocolate’s texture being of the utmost importance, the melt-in-the-mouth Lindt milk chocolate is generously filled with the finest pistachio butter, crispy kadayif (crunchy pastry shreds) and velvety tahini. The combination of the luxurious Lindt milk chocolate and crispy, creamy filling makes Lindt Dubai Chocolate an unforgettable, indulgent experience that can’t be missed.

The kick-off celebration event at the Lindt New York Empire State Shop on Dec. 12 will include chocolate-filled experiences throughout the day.
