Easter, But Make It Pistachio: 12 Dubai Style Chocolate Eggs
Nab a Dubai-style chocolate Easter egg before they sell out.
If there is one flavour defining Easter 2026, it is pistachio. Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate phenomenon that dominated feeds last year – and annihilated supermarket shelves – this season’s bestselling Easter eggs feature the pale green-flecked nut. Rich but not sickly, roasted and faintly indulgent, these Dubai style Easter eggs are expected to sell out fast.
Just look to Marks & Spencer, never one to miss a culinary trend, which has gone all in with its 2026 Easter range, unveiling a pistachio-heavy chocolate lineup that builds on last year’s viral success. Following the frenzy surrounding the impossible-to-buy Extra Thick Pistachio Milk Chocolate Egg, the supermarket has just expanded its offering. From the gloriously named Big Daddy Pistachio Loaded Half Egg to pistachio-rolled Swiss chocolate eggs and nutty, caramel, filled blonde chocolate eggs, theirs is a bold and committed display of passion for pistachio. Elsewhere, Lindt has adopted this flavour’s cult status, releasing Lindor Pistachio Mini Eggs and reimagining its sellout Dubai-style chocolate bar as a fully-fledged Easter egg. Even Co-Op is in on the action, releasing a limited edition for Easter 2026 treat of Belgian milk chocolate eggs hiding a pistachio ganache centre.
From supermarket heavyweights to Swiss chocolatiers, here is the 2026 Easter edit for those hunting quietly decadent Dubai-style pistachio sweet treats. Move quickly – if recent history is anything to go by, these eggs will not stick around too long.

Take Three: Why Pistachio Eggs Deserve Their Moment
- Pistachios are naturally rich in fibre, protein and healthy fats, which means pistachio chocolate feels more satisfying and less cloying than straight-up milk chocolate.
- That pale green hue comes from the nut itself, not colouring – a detail that helps swing it for anyone concerned about choosing whole foods over synthetic ones.
- It’s excellent for leftovers (if there are any, of course). Chop pistachio eggs into brownie batter, fold through blondies, scatter over vanilla ice cream or melt into a glossy Easter cheesecake base.
