Low-Glycemic Chocolate Covered Dates

A chocolate treat that won't spike you like candy. Every Hot Date Kitchen date is a whole California Medjool date, hand-stuffed with sunflower butter and dipped in single-origin 75% dark chocolate. About 2g of added sugar per serving, real fiber, and a glycemic index around 55, the low to low-medium end of the scale.

These are built for people watching their blood sugar: keto-leaning snackers, folks on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, and anyone who wants dessert without the crash. Nut-free, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher. Three whole stuffed dates per pouch, so a portion is easy to keep small.

Why these fit a low-glycemic snack rotation

  • Around 2g added sugar per serving. The sweetness is the date, not syrup.
  • Fiber intact. Whole dates, never date paste, so the sugar lands softer.
  • Fat and protein built in from sunflower butter, which lowers the snack's glycemic response.
  • Portion-friendly pouches of three dates, so one or two is a real serving.

Low-glycemic snack FAQ

Do these dates spike blood sugar?
Not the way candy does. Medjool dates have a glycemic index of about 55, and their fiber plus the fat and protein in sunflower butter slow the rise. Keep portions to one or two and watch your own response. Read the full breakdown in do dates spike blood sugar.

Are these keto or GLP-1 friendly?
They are low in added sugar and portion-controlled, which suits both. Dates are naturally high in carbohydrate, so fit them into your daily targets and check with your clinician. See our guide to dates on Ozempic and GLP-1.

Are they nut-free and vegan?
Yes. The filling is sunflower butter, not nut butter, and there is no dairy. They are made in a shared facility that also handles peanuts and tree nuts, so read the label for a severe allergy.
