Chocolate and almond Chocodate dates combine a soft, sweet date with a crunchy almond and a layer of chocolate. That makes them ideal as a small treat, gift or snack to share. However, the different varieties look very similar at first glance. If you only look at the packaging or flavour name, you could easily choose a product that is unsuitable for allergies, dietary preferences or your intended use.
A variety labelled “dark chocolate” may sound automatically less sweet, but the product also contains dates. So check the nutritional information per 100 grams and the ingredients list. The Chocodate dark chocolate variety states that the chocolate contains at least 85% cocoa solids. This tells you something about the chocolate itself, but it does not mean that the complete product is sugar-free or low in carbohydrates.
A product can be halal-certified and still contain milk. Vegetarian does not mean that it is suitable for people with a milk or soya allergy. Always check the allergens on the packaging. Different Chocodate varieties list milk, soya and almonds.
The milk chocolate and coconut varieties are described in the product information as halal-certified, vegetarian and gluten-free. Check the label again when buying a new pack, as recipes or import information may change.
Chocolate-covered dates are often bought for sharing or as a gift. A pack containing individually wrapped pieces is more convenient than one large block. Chocodate’s milk chocolate and coconut varieties contain individually wrapped portions. This makes them easier to hand out and limits contact with the rest of the pack after opening.
The basis of these snacks is dates and almonds. The coating then varies:
If you are looking for a gluten-free snack, do not rely solely on the product title. The milk chocolate and coconut varieties are listed as gluten-free, but check the current packaging and any cross-contamination warning before buying.
The packs weigh approximately 90 grams. The milk chocolate variety lists a portion size of 12.5 grams, while the coconut variety has a portion size of 15 grams. This makes it easier to spread the snack across several occasions. For a birthday, visitors or a festive table, individually wrapped filled dates with almonds are practical.
These products are confectionery and not a substitute for a complete meal. The available information lists 53.6 grams of sugars per 100 grams for the milk chocolate variety. The coconut variety contains 45.3 grams of sugars per 100 grams. The dark chocolate variety lists 48 grams of sugars per 100 grams. So compare not only the cocoa percentage, but also the overall nutritional value.
