    the Dubai chocolate is fucking disgusting. $12 bucks for a packet of what’s mostly ground up mealy pistachio wrapped in a thin layer of mid-ass choco.

    legit just buy $12 of Hershey and wipe your ass with it, you’ll get more value

      I mean, it does look like horse manure; but as someone who really likes pistachio’s, I’m a fan. I wouldn’t call the ones I’ve had “mealy” and the price hasn’t been that crazy. Maybe you just tried a shitty version of it?

      There is a store near me that sells the chocolate for $5/square, but they still ask if you want to donate 20c to charity.

        If you want a somewhat unique flavor, try Cote d’Or. I always thought it stood out.

        Pralines, then Neuhaus or Leonidas (for availability also) unless you can walk into a chocolatier locally, then definitely that.
