Hershey's Drops Dubai Chocolate Bar: Limited Edition Sells Out Fast

Hershey's has introduced a Dubai-inspired chocolate bar, aiming to offer a taste of the popular trend without the usual luxury price tag. Priced at $8.99, this limited release featured 10,000 bars that went on sale on December 4th. The bars were primarily available in-store at Hershey's Chocolate World in New York City and online via GoPuff in limited locations, including New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

The limited availability sparked widespread disappointment among consumers across the country who wished for a broader holiday release. Many expressed frustration that the bar wasn't available in more locations, including the company's hometown of Hershey, Pennsylvania. As expected with high-demand, limited-quantity items, some of these sought-after bars are already appearing on resale platforms with significantly inflated prices.

While the Hershey's bar offers a blend of chocolate, pistachio, and crispy kadayif filling, similar to other Dubai-inspired treats, it is noted as being less thick than the original viral sensation. It provides a pleasant taste, particularly for fans of pistachio, though some felt it could benefit from a richer filling ratio. It remains uncertain if Hershey's plans future releases of this bar, but the enduring popularity of Dubai chocolate suggests it's a possibility.
