What Is the Crunchy Thing in Dubai Chocolate?

It’s the first thing you notice when you bite into Dubai chocolate — that delicious, unexpected crunch. But what exactly is it?

The answer: it depends. But the most iconic Dubai chocolate crunch usually comes from a combination of premium roasted ingredients and expert baking techniques.

Common Crunch Contributors in Dubai Chocolate

• Roasted Pistachios: A signature Middle Eastern ingredient, pistachios add a nutty flavor and crunchy bite.
• Caramelized Sugar Crystals: Some Dubai chocolate has crisp sugar inclusions that crack gently when you bite.
• Chocolate Shells: Certain chocolates are tempered to create a firm outer layer that “snaps.”
• Baked Cookie Edges: In luxury chocolate cookies, like those from Skuish, that golden edge gives every bite a satisfying crisp.

Texture = Luxury

It’s not just about taste — it’s about experience. That crunch signals freshness, craftsmanship, and quality. It’s part of what makes Dubai chocolate feel fancy.
