2. Dubai Chocolate-Inspired Hamantaschen by Charnie Kohn

These hamantaschen trade traditional fillings for the now-iconic combination of pistachio cream, honey-toasted kataifi, and dark chocolate. The dough itself gets a nutty boost from pistachio butter, while the filling delivers that signature contrast of creamy and crunchy that made the original chocolate bars go viral. Finished with a chocolate drizzle and a hint of rose, they feel both on-trend and unmistakably Purim—classic in shape, but completely updated in flavor.

3. Dubai Chocolate Bark by Shoshi and Tzippy Newman

We wanted to make our own super easy version of the super trendy Dubai Chocolate bars. The tiny little problem was that we don’t really like pistachio cream so much, and we also don’t think it’s super kid-friendly. So we decided to use peanut butter, and it came out fantastic.
