German customs officials seized 90kg of the Internet famous Dubai chocolate last month from a woman at Hamburg airport, who is now on the line for hundreds of euros in import duties.
The chocolate bar features a crunchy mix of pistachio cream and knafeh – a crispy filo dough used in the dessert baklava – encased in milk chocolate. It went viral after TikTok food influencer Maria Vehera posted a video of herself eating a bar of it in 2023.
