MANY people – and supermarkets – have gone Dubai chocolate mad, and the craze has spread to other products too.
Shoppers can now pick up a Dubai Chocolate cream liqueur drink from Morrisons, which could take your next dinner party to the next level.
TikTok account @newfoundfood uploaded a clip of the bottle in their local supermarket and showed how it costs £7.
Despite making the most of the popular flavour, they did not seem impressed with the drink version.
They wrote: “wtf have Morrisons done?”
The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur.
Many people were quick to agree with being baffled at the drink.
One said: “Why does EVERYTHING have to be Dubai chocolate.”
Another added: “Nope.”
However, some people did seem impressed with the liquor, with one writing: “tbf it is banging.”
Donovan’s Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online.
It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat.
The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form.
That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar.
The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store’s other chocolate spreads.
However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy.
The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open.

Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they’ve been going viral on social media.
Lidl’s version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99.
Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl’s TikTok Shop.
It wasn’t around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes.
Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend.
One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar.
The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar.
Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.
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.
