Home Bargains is selling packs of 35 mini bars from the Dubai Chocolate brand for just £4.99.
That works out at just 14p per bar — but some shoppers aren't convinced they're worth the price.
One user commented: "They're nasty lol."
"Nothing special about it, I wouldn't waste your money," another wrote.
This shopper added: "Looks like someone smashed peas into the chocolate."
"Not sure why everyone is raving on about this chocolate," a fourth said.
Shoppers should visit their nearest Home Bargains to buy the discounted treats.
Earlier this month, the popular bargain chain revealed it would be stocking up on the indulgent, Middle Eastern-inspired treat and scanning bags of Dubai Chocolate Cookies for just £1.25.
The discount shop posted on its official Instagram feed and urged fans of the viral treats to "run" as stores were stocking something else to satisfy sweet tooths.
Shoppers have hailed the pistachio paste biscuits and flocked to social media to discuss.

One said: "These look insane!"
Another added: "Stop it now!
A third wrote: "Adding to shopping list!" Someone else posted: "[These are] 75p cheaper than Iceland!"
Meanwhile, Iceland is also jumping on the trend, with two Dubai-style chocolate bars now in stores.
The Nelino Dubai-Style Chocolate (£2 for 62g) and Bolci Dubai Chocolate (£5 for 100g) both feature a luxurious pistachio cream filling and kadayif pastry.
Iceland is the first UK retailer to stock Nelino's version, while Bolci's Turkish-made treat is also available at Morrisons.
These new arrivals are already proving a hit.
It comes after a major retailer sent shoppers wild after slashing the price of popular chocolate to just pennies.
And Asda shoppers have claimed the "bargain of the year" as clothes from the retailer's George line scan for just 50p.
