Will it melt in summer?
We ship warm-weather orders with ice packs and insulated packaging. Chocolate can still soften in transit, so chill the pouch for an hour and the coating sets firm again. Read the shipping policy.

Frequently asked questions
Are these vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free? Yes! All Hot Dates are 100% plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. We use creamy sunflower seed butter instead of peanut or tree nut butter.
How much sugar do they have? Each date has only about 2g of added sugar from single-origin dark chocolate. Medjool dates provide natural whole-fruit sweetness accompanied by intact dietary fiber that slows sugar absorption.
What is in the 4-pack? The 4-pack contains 4 sealed pouches, each holding 3 whole dark-chocolate covered stuffed Medjool dates (12 whole dates total).
What is the difference between the two flavors? Spiced Hot Dates feature sunflower butter infused with warm single-origin spices (cinnamon and a gentle touch of chili). Coffee Hot Dates feature sunflower butter blended with finely ground organic espresso beans from Dean's Beans.
Is this a good gift? Absolutely! Hot Dates come packaged in premium kraft pouches and make a wonderful, thoughtful gift for foodies, health-conscious friends, hosts, and holiday gifting.

- Natural fiber intact, which slows the sugar
- About 2g added sugar, no syrups or fillers
- Hand-stuffed and dipped in small batches
- Ground date paste pressed into a shape
- Fiber broken down in processing
- Often added sugars or oils to bind
- Mass-produced, uniform texture
