Turkish angel chocolate: The new luxury confection trend
Dubai chocolate now has a worthy successor. A kilogram of this angelic novelty costs a fortune. Is the delicacy worth its price?
Not long ago, social media was abuzz with Dubai chocolate—a pistachio sweetness with kataifi cake that became viral and a symbol of luxury. Now, another delicacy has appeared on the horizon that has a chance to dethrone its predecessor—chocolate with angel hair. The novelty in promotion costs a staggering €134.55 per kilogram—even more than Dubai chocolate.
What is angel chocolate?
A new viral delicacy has appeared on TikTok: Turkish chocolate. Unlike Dubai chocolate, it is made with white chocolate, usually dyed light pink or light blue.
The base for the filling is Turkish Pismaniye, which is somewhat the equivalent of our candyfloss. Some people also compare it to halvah. In reality, it consists of sugar stretched in wheat flour with optional additions such as cocoa or vanilla. The texture of the traditional treat is very fluffy and fibrous. Colloquially, it is called angel hair. Hence, the alternative name for Turkish chocolate is angel chocolate.
Is the novelty more expensive than Dubai chocolate?
Although the composition of angel chocolate sounds quite exotic, its price arouses the most emotions. An influencer known as "such a topic" decided to test the novelty. For a 75-gram bar on promotion, he paid as much as €9.36, which translates to €134.55 per kilogram. If he decided to buy the chocolate without a discount, he would pay €13.46, approximately €184.28.
This Turkish candyfloss literally melts in your mouth, and it's a fine combination, if (the chocolate bar—editor's note) costs eight quid—summarised the tester. The review's comments were full of criticism. Many internet users are shaking their heads, outraged by the price of the miniature bar.
