As the craze first started with Dubai's FIX Dessert Chocolatier's chocolate bars, which are only made in limited numbers, there have been many imitations of the viral bar.
First, we have Kunafa Finger's Pistachio Chocolate Bar (RM29.90), which has also gone viral with its packaging that's similar to the Dubai original.
Located in Bukit Bintang, Kunafa Finger's also offers other chocolatey pistachio Middle Eastern treats such as its Pistachio Fingers, Kunafa Cheese, Kunafa Crowns, and Chocolate Baklava.
