"My favourite, and how it all started, was with Solkiki's excellent date bonbons: almond ganache in a date, surrounded by 66% Bolivian chocolate. When I'm eating chocolate dates for personal pleasure, the cocoa content needs to be high to counterbalance the tooth-jarring sweetness of dates, so these really did it for me."
"Another great contender was Sam Joseph's 70% covered peanut butter medjool dates. My young testers are obsessed with Forest Feast's chocolate-covered fruit, so its date offerings are an easy segue."
"Best in the ring here are the peanut butter and milk chocolate: dates, chocolate and peanut butter are a menage a trois made in heaven. And in terms of the biggest, most pillowy dates, Birley Bakery wins with its selection boxes."
"For using dates as sweetener, Cosmic Dealer is my current obsession. I love everything about their 75% chocolate-covered low sugar chocolate squares stuffed with a variety of nut butters and extras."
