Dubai Chocolate: An Illusion You’ll Want to Taste Too!

Real Dubai chocolate is synonymous with luxury, smooth and delicious, often filled with pistachio cream and kataifi, crunchy strands of pastry. But we decided to create an artistic version of our own. Using materials from Artmie, we made an imitation that looks just like the real thing, from its nutty filling to its chocolate coating. We don't recommend eating it, but we guarantee it will fool anyone with a sweet tooth. See what you'll need and how to make it.

Materials

modeling clay

modeling spatulas

colored pigment

acrylic paint in pistachio and brown shades

Artmie Butter pasta

textile fibers or imitation filling

textile fibers or sisal fibers

Instructions:

1. Making the "chocolate" bars from modeling clay

First, we'll make the outer layer of the fake chocolate. We'll use modeling clay, roll it out to the desired thickness, and shape it into two classic chocolate bars. Add fine grooves in a grid pattern, like those on a classic chocolate bar. You can add patterns to make it look more interesting. Next, add color. Brown acrylic paint will give it the perfect look of dark chocolate.

2. Making the "tempting" filling

In the next step, we’ll prepare the filling. First, we dyed classic textile fibers or sisal fibers by adding color pigment, then enriched them with egg white and ARTMiE butter paste. To give the filling an exotic, luxurious look, we’ll add a little green acrylic paint. The result looks so tempting, it could easily be on display in a luxury confectionery shop.

3. Combining the Filling and the Bars

Once the filling is ready, simply place it between the two modeled chocolate bars and press gently. For a more realistic look, you can finish by coating the chocolate surface with gloss varnish.

The perfect illusion is here!
