Have you tried the viral #dubaichocolatestrawberries yet? These Pilot Light students have! 8th graders in Mr. Gonzalez`s Food Education Fellowship classroom took it upon themselves to try making these delicious snack cups featuring fresh strawberries, melted chocolate, and special ingredients like pistachio butter, tahini, and kataifi.
"This week we decided on the heavily influenced Dubai Chocolate that the students have seen on TikTok. I had no idea what they were talking about so I let our esteemed Student Advisor and students take the helm. They really enjoyed making something they’ve seen only on their social media and thought it was super cool that they good see it, and make it. Personally, it was nice to sit back and enjoy what they have learned so far and taking on a liberative role. Turns out, it was simple, and delicious!!" -Mr. Gonzalez
