Hailing from Turkey, Miskets has carved a niche for itself by combining traditional ingredients with playful, creative confectionery.
From dragees and cones to exotic bars and marshmallow treats, there’s a lot more here than your everyday chocolate.
Who Are Miskets?
Miskets is a snack and confectionery brand that began with humble roots, known originally for its chickpea serie, but has expanded into a wide range of sweet treats.
Some of their hallmarks:
They use natural coatings and dried fruit in many of their products.
Their products include more than chocolate: think marshmallows, jelly beans, salty pretzels coated in chocolate, chocolate-filled cones, etc.
Quality is important — Miskets emphasise using fresh and carefully selected ingredients.
What Makes Miskets Special
There are a few things that set Miskets apart from many other confectionery brands:
Fusion of textures and flavours
You’ll find contrasts, crunchy, creamy, smooth, chewy, often in a single item. For example, the Dubai Style Chocolate Bar with Crispy Kadaifi & Hazelnut combines the flaky, shredded pastry (kadaifi) with rich hazelnut and milk chocolate.
Inspirations from regional treats
Some products are inspired by Middle Eastern desserts (kadaifi, nuts, etc.), which gives them a distinct character compared with typical Western chocolates. The “Dubai Style” line is a good example.
Variety
Whether you prefer something light like white chocolate, or dark and nutty, or even juicier flavours in dragees (fruit flavours), there’s something to suit different tastes.
Presentation and novelty
Some of their bars are eye-catching. They’re not just tasty but designed to be enjoyed visually too. People like new sensory experiences in sweets: multi-texture, multi-flavour, even Instagram-friendly packaging. Miskets taps into that.
Some Stand-Out Products
Here are a few examples of what Miskets offers (so you know what to expect if you try them):
Dubai Style Chocolate Bar (Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut & Kadaifi) — a decadent combo of flaky pastry (kadaifi), crunchy hazelnuts, and smooth milk chocolate.
Dubai Style Pistachio & White Chocolate Bar — swapping milk for white chocolate, highlighting nutty pistachio in a lighter chocolate base.
Mini Cones (Pistachio & Kunafa with Chocolate) — crispy waffle cones filled with pistachio/kunafa and coated in chocolate. These little treats offer crunch plus a rich filling.
Dragees & Jelly-Flavour Coated Treats — fruit flavours, chocolate coatings, chewy centres, etc.
Where to Buy & What to Know
Miskets products are sold in various markets: Turkey, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly in places further afield.
In the UK, some lines are available through retailers. For example, the “Dubai Style” chocolate bars appear in Home Bargains.
Price-wise, they tend to be a premium over basic chocolate bars, reflecting the more complex ingredients and novelty. But many people find the extra cost worth it for the experience.
Who Miskets Is For
If I were to recommend to whom Miskets is most likely to appeal:
Adventurous sweet-tooth – people who like more than just chocolate; they enjoy combinations (nuts, pastry, fruit, crunchy textures).
Gift givers – bars with aesthetic appeal make good gifts, or small cone treats as novelty snacks.
Fans of Middle Eastern desserts – especially those who love pistachio, kunafa, kadayif etc., but want a chocolate twist.
People curious about premium confectionery – willing to pay a little more for quality, novelty and flavour variety.
A Few Considerations
As good as they sound, there are some things to keep in mind:
Allergens — many products contain nuts, wheat (gluten), milk, etc., so not suitable for those with allergies. Always check the label.
Richness & sweetness — the combinations can be quite intense (very sweet, very rich); not everyone’s going to want that with every bite.
Availability — depending where you live, some lines may be hard to find, or only available in specific stores or import shops.
Final Thoughts
Miskets is a brand that stands out by offering more than just chocolate. It’s an exploration of textures, flavours and combinations rooted partially in regional sweets but reimagined in a way that feels modern and playful. If you’re after something beyond the ordinary — something that surprises you with every bite — Miskets is well worth trying.
I bought my Miskets' chocolates from Home Bargains. I think they'll make excellent stockingfillers.
