Dubai Chocolate

Daily writing prompt
Describe your dream chocolate bar.

Dream chocolate bar? That has to be a Dubai chocolate bar. I can think of little so decadent as a milk chocolate bar stuffed full of pistachio butter filling. If I was allowed only one chocolate bar for the rest of my life, I would have a Dubai chocolate bar.

A Dubai chocolate bar from the outside looks like any other chocolate bar, although a bit thicker. When you break off a piece, a green paste oozes from the chocolate, and anyone who has seen pistachio butter will know what to expect. But still, that first bite is unexpected because the paste is textured, pleasantly crunchy to the teeth. This is the unexpected ingredient, which is a very fine shredded wheat.

The chocolate, very sweet, contrasts with the richness of the pistachio butter. It’s almost too much to eat, but almost too good to share. I suggest sharing it, though, because it’s a big candy bar and so maybe too much for one person.

Now I’m hungry for a Dubai chocolate bar.
