September 13 is International Chocolate Day, so it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to something seriously chocolatey. From chocolate-covered knafeh to rich cakes and loaded cookies, here are a few desserts to try around Amman.
You already know the viral knafeh stick, but have you tried the chocolate version? Aghati Sweets fries its stretchy cheese-filled knafeh sticks fresh, then coats them in chocolate for an extra sweet finish. Expect crispy knafeh, melted cheese and plenty of chocolate in every bite.
Chocolate lovers, this one is for you. Dilly Dally has London Cake and strawberry chocolate cups, giving you two sweet ways to get your chocolate fix. Pick your favourite or go for both.
If you want something seriously chocolatey, order the chocolate ice cream cake drenched in chocolate sauce at Nommers. It’s rich, cold, creamy and covered in even more chocolate, making it a perfect dessert to enjoy at Boulevard Abdali.
At Zalatimo Brothers, your chocolate fix starts with the cone. Their live gelato station lets you watch your cone get dipped in chocolate before it’s filled with your choice of gelato. It’s the kind of dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
The Kinder Cookie Tin at Indulge is packed with Belgian chocolate and Kinder pieces, with a crispy outside and soft centre. If you’re celebrating International Chocolate Day, this one definitely belongs on your list.
