I'm Matthew and I'm Molly and this is spilled milk the show where we cooked something delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any.

Today we are talking about the phenomenon known as Dubai chocolate.

I'm really excited for this. I've never tasted this stuff.

I haven't either. Okay. I haven't either. In fact,

I'd never heard of it until last summer, the summer of 2025. Yeah. And like, I don't, I don't even know if it dates back, I mean, you did the research. If it dates back that far before that, like this is the thing that I noticed, that this is memory lane. I noticed it starting to appear around, I think I maybe first noticed it at the, at the register at M to M.

Mm-hmm. This is memory lane. I noticed it starting to appear around. I think I maybe first noticed it at the register at M to M, the local Korean grocery.

Then Friends of the Show, the podcast Candy is Dandy, did an episode on it that I enjoyed.

But I didn't enjoy, like it didn't make me go buy some.

I think I sort of resisted because it seemed like a really, like, trendy influencer kind of thing, probably. That's because that's how it made its name. Okay. Yeah. But I'm really excited to try today because, A, it sounds good. And B, I feel sort of like, you ever had the experience where, like, there's a restaurant that's been in your neighborhood for ages and you haven't gone there just for no reason? And everybody tells you how great it is. And then finally, like some friends like, hey, let's go to like, you know, Frompsons. And you're like, okay, believe it or not, I've lived here for 20 years. I've never gone to Frommsons. And then you go to Frommsons and it's good.

Yeah. And then you never go again. I think that this is our first viral product. I mean,

we've done viral recipes before. I think or we've mentioned them. We've mentioned them.

We've done that baked feta pasta. Right. Like we've done viral foods like fennel, um, sun dried tomatoes. Why would that be?

Oh, viral. I mean, like, because they were trendy. Because they were trendy like in the 90s.

Yeah. No, you're right. We don't talk like if we're going to talk about like a viral recipe or food,

we'll probably do it like 12 years after the fact.

That's right. And in this case, I think we're only like a year and a half, maybe two years after the fact.

Okay. Great. So can I tell you what this stuff is? Please do. Okay. And by the way, I learned literally all of this yesterday while doing the research. I knew nothing. All I know is that it is chocolate and

it has pistachios. Okay. Sort of the basic premise here is we got a chocolate bar that is filled

with pistachio tahini cream and Kadaif, which is also sometimes pronounced Kadaifi and other

variations on these syllable sounds. Okay, I am familiar with that.

Okay, which is, it's the Turkish, Turkish word for shredded filo dough. That probably explains why when
