Reviews also flag consistent drawbacks: only two dates per box, occasional muted or overpowering fillings, and a portion size that makes the experience feel expensive despite beautiful, gift‑ready packaging.

I loved the packaging and was immediately drawn to the concept - a lot of US-based chocolate and dessert companies have yet to use dates in their recipes and as someone who grew up eating them, I was excited to see something new in the space. The taste was rich and delicious and I love the different flavor profiles offered.

Maybe I’m jaded and used to high prices, but for the complete experience and package of the product, I didn’t think the price was absurdly high for what it is. It is definitely on the higher end and I wouldn’t be able to buy this all the time, but would make a beautiful little gift. I would also love to know more about the founders and their relationship to medjool dates.

I think these are so tasty and obviously love the packaging but I just wish there was more in the box for the price. I know dates can be expensive but these are generally pretty easy to make at home for a fraction of the price
First things first, the flavour is AMAZING. The dates are so fresh and the peanut butter crunch reminds me of a Snickers x Reese's (perfect combo IMO). However, you only get two per pack (I was assuming it would be four, even given the size of the box) which makes it a pretty expensive snack when you want a sweet treat. I grabbed a box when I saw them at my local boutique grocer, but I was SHOCKED when I was rung up and saw the price. Delicious? Yes. Expensive? Also yes, especially when this kind of snack is so easy to make at home. I love supporting a local biz here in my hometown of LA, but dang.
Echoing what others have said — yes, they're delicious, and the branding is lovely, but the price point is on another planet!
I bought a box of these on a whim while I was browsing the snack selection at Big Night in Brooklyn, NY and it was easily my best purchase of the day- the cashew lime crisp flavor is out of this world! Dates never tasted so good.

My only complaint is that you only get two pieces in each box when I could have easily devoured an entire bag full of these... I want more! The price is also a bit steep as other reviewers have pointed out.

These were good in the way that all dates are. Caramelly, inherently gooey, and a natural match for chocolate and nuts. But were they $3 or more per date good? No. Did I feel absolutely ridiculous when I opened the package to find that it contained just 2 dates? Yes. I appreciate the quirky packaging and recognize that they are plussing up the flavor profiles but I could make something just about as tasty in much higher volumes for a lower price point in my own kitchen. In fact, so many people are nowadays, to the point that I had assumed chocolate-covered dates had jumped the shark long ago.

Give me more dates per package and a lower price point.
