Our Story

Back in 2017, our founder, Robbie Madfis, was burned out from startup life and found refuge in the kitchen. Out of late-night cravings and wild flavor experiments came something unexpected: California Medjool dates, stuffed with spicy sunflower butter and dunked in dark chocolate. What began as a blog (shoutout to “Just Recipes”) quickly gained a following.

Today, Hot Date Kitchen has grown to serve people just as obsessed with quality, taste, and values. We still hand-make every date in Rhode Island. We still stuff them with only the best — single-origin spices, sustainable ingredients, and zero BS. And we still believe snacking can be hot — indulgent, functional, and aligned with your values.

Built to Be Better: Our Sustainability Promise

Let’s face it: the food system wasn’t built for sustainability — it was built for speed and scale. That’s not us.

At Hot Date Kitchen, we’re not perfect, but we are intentional. Every choice we make is about doing better — for people, the planet, and your cravings.

We are certified Carbon Neutral.

We focus on five key areas to keep our impact real:

  • Plant-based, nutrient-rich, crave-worthy.
  • Direct from farmers & foragers with fair trade values.
  • Handmade in Rhode Island, no shipping containers.
  • Low-waste, low-emission, eco packaging.
  • 10% of profits donated + trees planted per sale.

Sustainability isn’t a checkbox. It’s our baseline.
