What kind of chocolate bars can I get from the chocolate bar?
The chocolate shop in Hoog Catharijne is filled with our deluxe chocolate bars – handmade in our own chocolaterie. Each chocolate bar tells its own story of texture, aroma, and flavor.
🍫 Dubai chocolate bar pistachio Kunefe
Our most famous and beloved bar. The Dubai chocolate bar is filled with creamy pistachios and crunchy Kunefe – thin, golden dough threads from the Middle East. This combination creates an intense, nutty flavor with a surprisingly crunchy bite.
It was not for nothing that he went viral on TikTok.

🍫 White Dubai chocolate bar
A soft, lighter version of our classic. De Bonte Koe white chocolate makes the pistachio filling even creamier and subtly sweet, with a velvety finish.
🍫 Hazelnut Crunch chocolate bar
Crunchy, nutty, and full of character. The roasted hazelnuts combine beautifully with De Bonte Koe's milk chocolate – a bar that melts and crunches at the same time.
🍫 Pandan Coconut Chocolate Bar
A tropical temptation with a soft scent of pandan leaf and a hint of toasted coconut. Its fresh, green hue and light flavor make this bar irresistible for adventurous gourmets.
🍫 Floss chocolate bar (Pismaniye)
The Floss chocolate bar is inspired by Pismaniye , a traditional Middle Eastern candy. The wafer-thin, airy threads of Pismaniye melt together with our chocolate to create a soft, silky texture that melts in your mouth.
