There was a time, way back in the ancient past of 2025, when I would see Dubai chocolate every time I closed my eyes. I would dream of the damn stuff. Not because I wanted it (although it is very nice) – but because it was everywhere. Every third TikTok had people trying this viral sensation, and food companies duly responded: We got Hershey’s Dubai chocolate, we got Belle’s Dubai chocolate popcorn, we got Dubai chocolate mochi, and we got everything in between.

Well, in 2026, this candy trend absolutely refuses to go away. We have just received the knowledge that Lindt is rolling out a line of Lindor Pistachio Truffles in U.S. Costco stores, having first debuted them in the UK, just in time for Easter. And, it’s also bringing a Lindt Lindor Pistachio Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar out, too. Here’s what we know, and whether they’ll be any good (spoiler alert: I’m pretty sure they will be).
Dubai Chocolate…But This Time, Round
Lindt’s truffles and its chocolate truffle bar are due to arrive on Costco shelves towards the end of March. If you don’t have one near you, don’t worry – they should also be dropping on Amazon, and it looks as though just a few weeks later they’ll start appearing in all other major stores (like Walmart, Target, and H-E-B, amongst many others). Those supermarkets are getting them a tad late for Easter, though, and this one’s destined to be a smash over the big weekend.
The Lindor Pistachio Truffles are the latest in the extensive Lindt truffles line, and they feature that classic combo of a milk chocolate shell and a smooth interior, with the flavor this time being, of course, pretty pistachio-y. You’ll be able to grab them in 5.1-ounce or 8.5-ounce bags. The Lindor Pistachio Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar, meanwhile, looks to emulate the truffle in rectangular form, and is a slightly simplified version of its Dubai Style Chocolate Bar. That’s not to say that it’ll be a lesser product, though; it’ll still taste great.
Will It? Will It Really? How Do You Know?
Because we’ve had the truffles over here in the UK since 2024 (sometimes we get nice things too), and let me tell ya, I’ve got through a lot of them. Lindt’s Lindor Pistachio Truffles have all of that intense creaminess that you expect from the brand’s chocolate products, and the pistachio gives it a nutty kick that feels like a slightly more luxe peanut butter. Don’t get me wrong, they are sweet – it’s hard to get through more than a few in one go – but as Dubai-style chocolate products go, it’s a solid entry to the market. Well done, Lindt, you’ve managed to take all of our money, again.
