What’s the Flaky Thing in Dubai Chocolate? It’s Delicious.

If you’ve ever seen a photo or video of Dubai chocolate, you’ve probably asked the same thing everyone else does: what’s that flaky stuff on top?

It looks fancy, golden, and crispy — but what is it? And more importantly… can you eat it?

In this post, we’ll break down what that flaky topping is, why it’s used, and how we bake it into our best-selling Dubai chocolate cookies.

What Is the Flaky Topping on Dubai Chocolate?

The flaky topping on Dubai chocolate is usually one of three things:

• Edible gold leaf – ultra-thin sheets of real gold used as a garnish
• Feuilletine – delicate, crispy pastry flakes (made from thin crêpes)
• Toasted nuts or coconut flakes – for crunch and contrast

Each adds a different flavor or texture, but all give that signature “Dubai chocolate look” — elegant, decadent, and totally Insta-worthy.

Is It Just for Show?

Not at all. The flaky topping isn’t just beautiful — it adds a subtle crunch and layered texture that makes every bite more interesting. It balances out the richness of the chocolate and gives you that satisfying snap or crackle.

It’s the kind of little detail that turns good chocolate into a luxury experience.

How We Bake That Into Our Cookies

At [Your Brand Name], we wanted to bring that Dubai magic to cookies — so we top ours with flaky, golden crunch. Our Dubai Chocolate Cookies combine:
