Move over Dubai chocolate — there's a new craze hitting the shops
For months social media feeds have been flooded with photos and videos of the Dubai Chocolate bar. The filled chocolate treat features pistachio cream and Kadayif pastry and sparked a frenzy after influencer Maria Vehera shared a clip of her trying one from FIX Dessert Chocolatier. A few months later, just about every confectionery brand out there had created its own version of the sweet treat, including Lindt and Lidl. Demand for the product was so high that limits had to be set for the amount of bars you could buy at one time and the chocolate bar was even blamed for a worldwide pistachio shortage in April. Those who roll their eyes every time they see another Dubai chocolate review cropping up on their TikTok FYP might want to brace themselves though, as there's a brand new chocolate craze that's about to be absolutely everywhere, known as Angel Hair chocolate. One Angel Hair chocolate bar has already hit the mainstream, with Noesis Angel Hair (70g) being sold in Tesco for £5, or £4.50 with a Clubcard. It's made with ruby and white chocolate, and like the Dubai bar features a pistachio cream filling. However, instead of Kadayif pastry, it's filled with 'cotton candy'. Food futurologist, Dr Morgaine Gaye, told Metro that this cotton candy is actually what's known as Pashmak, and it's this ingredient specifically that's set to be the next big thing. 'There's going to be a rise in Pashmak – it's being touted as a challenger for the pistachio trend,' she said. 'Pashmak is an Iranian pulled sugar that's reminiscent of candy floss, it's like hair fibres, it's very straight. 'It's similar to candy floss, but it's not the same thing.' So far, those who've tried it have had mixed reactions to the sugary filling, with some saying it's 'beautiful', but a few weren't keen on the unique texture. Helena Smith was a fan, posting on the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group: 'I must say I thought it tasted really nice. I don't normally give in to the hype, but so glad I did with this one.' And Dee Aldrich also liked it, sharing she found it to be 'well worth the money'. However, Gary Hodgson, wrote of the Noesis chocolate: 'It's very expensive when you see the bar is actually tiny. It tastes nice but I found the texture of the candy floss strange in a chocolate bar, like eating loft insulation.' Beverly Waldron agreed, replying: 'I got one from Home Bargains, I'm not going to lie, it was beautiful chocolate, but tasted like I was licking a carpet.' 'Very strange texture,' commented Jacqueline Reid, as Eden Lewis claimed it was 'wayyyy too sweet'. Others admitted they 'weren't sure' about it, or were 'intrigued' but hadn't tried it yet. But whether or not you're tempted by Angel Hair, one thing's certain – you can expect to see more of it over the coming months, according to Morgaine. More Trending The expert believes you'll see it popping up inside of chocolate and cakes, as well as being used on other treats like doughnuts as a 'decorative' topping. She adds that trends like this one and the pistachio one can go on and on and don't tend to die down until they are 'absolutely everywhere'. 'It often seems like something is everywhere because it's all over social media, but that doesn't mean it has actually fully infiltrated the mainstream. View More » 'Until every large brand is selling chocolate or cakes with this filling, and people who aren't on social media or aren't in London are aware of it and are being inundated by it, then it's not really everywhere.'

We Tried The TikTok Viral Angel Hair Chocolate (& More)
Employees shown in this video were found comatose and lying on the office couch just minutes after. Taste with caution. Jun 30, 2025 In an experiment that raises ethical questions about workplace boundaries, several MO4 employees were handed chocolates flavoured like things that shouldn't be chocolate: Angel Hair, Apple Cinnamon, and Mango. The brief was unclear. The emotions were not. First up: Apple Cinnamon. Reactions ranged from 'It's giving apricot' to 'Why is my chocolate spicy?' One employee noted, 'It tastes like someone melted an apple pie and panicked halfway.' Another whispered, 'There's biscuit in this. I'm scared.' Then came Mango. Someone said it tasted like a tropical layover. Another guessed 'peach,' then downgraded to 'guava,' then gave up entirely and said, 'white' The group agreed it was fruity, confusing, and not emotionally stable. And finally: Angel Hair. 'That's… sugar,' someone blurted, face full of confusion and optimism. Another compared it to moulid candy, if moulid candy had a trust fund and a LinkedIn. A third taster took a bite, nodded sagely, and said, 'I've been to a moulid. This tracks.' No one really knew what they had just eaten. But Choco Diamonds had succeeded: the room was divided, the chocolate was devoured, and now everyone has opinions on what emotion each bite tasted like.

Supermarket giant selling viral ‘angel hair' chocolate – but some shoppers are disgusted

The Viele Angel Hair Strawberry Flavour Chocolate is now available at Morrisons, and the unusual looking snack is dividing customers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Some shoppers are disgusted by the new product Credit: Instagram / morrisons 2 Morrisons is the latest supermarket to launch the new viral 'angel hair' chocolate Credit: Instagram / morrisons The pink Turkish chocolate bar is filled with pistachio cream and green cotton candy, with the inside resembling human hair. Morrisons posted a video of the new product to its Instagram page this week, writing: "The viral Angel Hair chocolate bar has officially landed in stores... have you tried it yet?" But many customers appeared to be revolted by the sweet treat, with one responding: "Eww are you meant to eat that?" Another said it looked "vile", while one shopper asked: "Is that supposed to be edible? It looks awful?" Some shoppers even questioned whether the retailer's post was a late April Fools Day joke. "Is that a real item or is that a really late April fools? Genuinely concerned here," one said. The 100g chocolate bar is on sale for £5 in the supermarket, and is available both online and in stores. The 'hairy' chocolate has been compared to the Dubai-style chocolate, which has been viral over the past few moths and contains layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry encased in smooth milk chocolate. I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick Replying to Morrisons' Instagram post, one shopper wrote: "Not sure about this one! Dubai chocolate filling is much more appetising." Like the Dubai chocolate, the 'angel hair' pink chocolate has recently gone viral on TikTok, with many users sharing videos of themselves trying it and giving their verdict. And while Morrisons shoppers might not be convinced, there are many fans raving about it online. One fan, Carmie Sellitto, known as @touchdalight on TikTok, posted a video reviewing another version of the "angel hair" chocolate by Tucho Bar, describing the taste as 'incredible.' He told his 1 million followers: "I've never tried anything like this chocolate before", adding that it was "the best chocolate I've ever had in my life." Other chocolate news Godiva has started selling its own version of the pistachio bar in Tesco stores as the brand makes a return to supermarket shelves after five years. However, the FSA last week issued a warning over Dubai-style products over a concern for customer health. The watchdog said that imported products may not be intended for sale within the UK and might not comply with UK labelling laws, meaning allergens might not be accurately labelled. Some products, meanwhile, may contain additives and colours which are banned in the UK market. Cadbury has been busy too. The Sun recently revealed that the chocolatier was launching a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte bar this summer. Fans were thrilled to spot a long-discontinued chocolate bar for sale at B&M for a reduced price. The chocolate block was spotted by a fan when shopping at the discount retail store.
