Hundreds of curious shoppers, some equipped with camping stools and rain gear, lined up for hours on a drizzly weekday in the western German city of Aachen. They weren't waiting for the latest phone or luxury handbag release: they were after a taste of a new chocolate bar.
Swiss chocolate giant Lindt has drawn the crowds with a new treat – a confection known as "Dubai chocolate” that features a crunchy mixture of chocolate, pistachio cream and knafeh, a crispy filo dough that is better known for its use in baklava.
