Tengrinews.kz - Dubai chocolate recently conquered social networks. Now the attention of Internet users has been riveted by a new viral dessert, which has already received an ambiguous name - "Angel Hair chocolate." What kind of chocolate is this, why is it so popular and how to make it at home? Read more in the article.
An unusual chocolate dessert, which users have nicknamed "hairy", is rapidly gaining popularity in social networks. The new trend resembles the already well-known Dubai chocolate with knafeh, but has its own unique filling - cotton candy.
What is "hairy" chocolate
The novelty appeared from the Belgian brand Tucho, which presented chocolate called Angel Hair. The dessert is a bar of dark chocolate with a delicate filling of white and pink threads of cotton candy that literally melt in your mouth. The taste has notes of vanilla, raspberry and pomegranate, creating an exquisite combination of sweetness and slight sourness.
The cost of one 185-gram bar in Europe is 19 euros. So far, the chocolate has not appeared on major marketplaces, but judging by the excitement, it can be expected on the shelves in the near future.
