Dubai Chocolate Bar Calories, Ingredients & Allergens Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy
Before you order — or before you share — here is the complete, honest breakdown of what goes into a FIX bar. Nutrition, allergens, dietary suitability, and what makes every ingredient worth it.
One of the most common questions we receive — right after "when will it be back in stock?" — is some version of: what's actually in it? Calories, allergens, whether it's Halal, whether it contains gluten, whether it's suitable for someone who doesn't eat dairy.
These are important questions. We want to answer all of them in one place, clearly and completely — because the ingredients in a FIX bar are something we are genuinely proud of, and because understanding what you are eating is a reasonable thing to expect from any food brand.
Below is everything you need to know: per-bar nutrition, full ingredient philosophy, allergen breakdown, and dietary suitability for our core range. Where specific bar details may vary or be updated, we always recommend checking the current product page for the most accurate labelling.
Why the Ingredients Are Different Here
Before we get into numbers, it is worth understanding what distinguishes a FIX bar's ingredient list from a standard supermarket chocolate bar — because the comparison explains both the flavour difference and the calorie profile.
A standard chocolate bar's weight is almost entirely chocolate. A FIX bar is roughly half Belgian couverture chocolate shell and half a dense, calorie-rich pistachio kunafa filling. That filling contains pure pistachio paste, tahini, and toasted kataifi pastry — three ingredients that are each calorie-dense and nutrient-rich in their own right.
Pistachios are among the most nutritionally complete nuts — high in protein, healthy fats, fibre, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Tahini (sesame paste) adds further healthy fats, calcium, and iron. Kataifi pastry contributes carbohydrates and the structural crunch. The chocolate shell provides cocoa flavanols alongside its fat and sugar content.
The result is a bar that is calorically substantial — this is not low-calorie food and we will not pretend otherwise — but one whose calories come from real, recognisable ingredients rather than artificial fillers, flavourings, or cheap fats.
Core Ingredients — What & Why
Every FIX bar is built on the same foundational ingredients, with flavour-specific additions for each variety. Here is what goes into every bar and why it matters.
Belgian Couverture Chocolate
High-quality chocolate made with a minimum 31% cocoa butter, giving it the fluidity needed for shell molding and the melt-in-the-mouth texture that separates couverture from compound. We use both milk (typically 33–38% cocoa) and dark (typically 55–72% cocoa) varieties depending on the bar. No palm kernel oil. No artificial flavours. Cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids (in milk chocolate), vanilla.
Pure Pistachio Paste
100% ground pistachios — no added sugar, no emulsifiers, no oil padding. The paste provides natural colour (that distinctive green), genuine pistachio flavour, and significant nutritional value: protein, monounsaturated fats, vitamin B6, potassium, and antioxidants. A single bar contains a meaningful amount of nut content by weight.
Tahini (Sesame Paste)
Ground sesame seeds, used to add silkiness, depth, and a subtle nutty undertone to the pistachio cream. Tahini is a cornerstone of Middle Eastern cooking and a nutritional powerhouse — calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and healthy unsaturated fats. It is also what makes the filling smooth rather than crumbly. Contains sesame — a declared allergen.
Toasted Kataifi Pastry
Shredded wheat phyllo pastry, toasted in butter to a deep golden crisp. The source of the bar's signature crunch and the element that makes it distinctively "knafeh." Ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt, butter (milk). Contains gluten and dairy. The toasting process is critical — it is what keeps the kataifi crispy inside the bar for months rather than softening within hours.
Flaked Sea Salt
A small but important finishing element on select bars. Salt amplifies sweetness, balances the richness of pistachio and chocolate, and adds a subtle textural pop at the surface. Used in restraint — the goal is enhancement, not salted chocolate as a concept.
Approximate Nutrition Per Bar
FIX bars are generous — a full bar is designed to be shared, or savoured over more than one sitting. The figures below are approximate nutritional values for the original Can't Get Knafeh of It milk chocolate bar at full bar weight (~185g). Individual bars in the range vary in size and filling composition; always check the specific product page for exact labelling on your order.
Nutrition Information
Can't Get Knafeh of It — Milk Chocolate
Approximate values per full bar (~185g) & per 30g serving
⚠ Values are approximate estimates based on standard ingredient composition and are provided for general guidance only. Exact nutritional values vary by batch, bar size, and specific formulation. Always refer to the label on your specific product for certified nutritional information.
Putting It in Context
A full FIX bar is intended to be shared between 2–4 people, or broken into portions across multiple occasions. At a one-quarter serving (~46g), you are looking at approximately 250–280 kcal — comparable to a standard chocolate bar. The protein content (4–5g per serving from pistachio and tahini) and healthy fat profile make it more satiating than most confectionery of equivalent calorie count.
Allergen Information
All FIX bars are produced in a facility that handles tree nuts, milk, wheat (gluten), sesame, and soy. Cross-contamination with any of these is possible in all bars regardless of the specific formulation. If you have a severe allergy to any of these, please contact us before ordering.
CONTAINS: Milk / Dairy
Present in the Belgian milk chocolate shell and the kataifi pastry (buttered during toasting). All standard FIX bars contain dairy. Not suitable for vegans or those with dairy allergies.
CONTAINS: Gluten / Wheat
Kataifi pastry is made from wheat flour. All standard FIX bars contain gluten. Not suitable for those with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance without medical advice.
CONTAINS: Sesame
Tahini (sesame paste) is a core ingredient in the pistachio cream filling. Sesame is a declared allergen in the EU, UAE, UK, and US. All standard FIX bars contain sesame.
CONTAINS: Tree Nuts
Pistachios are a tree nut and a core ingredient in all FIX bars. Additional tree nuts may appear in other varieties (walnuts in Baklawa 2 The Future, for example). All FIX bars are produced in a facility that handles a wide range of tree nuts.
MAY CONTAIN: Soy
Soy lecithin may be present in some chocolate formulations used. The facility handles soy. Those with soy allergies should be aware of potential cross-contact.
FREE FROM: Peanuts
FIX bars do not contain peanuts or peanut derivatives as an ingredient. However, cross-contamination cannot be fully excluded given the range of nuts used in the facility.
