What started as a pregnancy craving has turned into a worldwide chocolate obsession. Sarah Hamouda, a chocolatier based in Dubai, dreamed up the “Can’t Get Knafeh of It” bar while longing for knafeh, a beloved Middle Eastern dessert. The result? A milk chocolate treat packed with pistachio cream and crunchy kataifi (shredded phyllo), topped with vibrant yellow and green splashes.

Hamouda, who had no prior chocolate-making experience, began experimenting in her living room during her pregnancy. She aimed to capture the essence of knafeh—creamy, crunchy, and fragrant with hints of orange blossom or rose water. Her creation quickly gained attention, becoming a must-try for chocolate lovers everywhere.

The bar’s unique blend of flavors and textures has sparked a global frenzy, with fans and even imitators popping up worldwide. Hamouda and her husband, Yezen Alani, were stunned by the overwhelming demand for their creation.

If you’re a fan of bold, innovative sweets, this Dubai-inspired chocolate bar might just be your next obsession. Who knew a childhood dessert could inspire such a delicious revolution?
