Chocolate Covered Dates: A More Thoughtful Indulgence
A treat with something special at its centre
There is nothing wrong with enjoying chocolate. What matters to us is making every bite worth it.
Salahuddin chocolate dates begin with a carefully selected Medjool date, known for its soft texture and deep caramel flavour. We then add chocolate and distinctive fillings to create something generous, satisfying and completely different from an ordinary sweet.
It is indulgence built around real fruit, thoughtful flavour combinations and plenty of texture.
The natural sweetness of Medjool dates
Medjool dates have a rich sweetness of their own. Their soft, almost caramel like centre works naturally with chocolate, nuts, coffee, fruit and crisp kunafa.
Instead of a fondant, biscuit or caramel centre, every Salahuddin chocolate date has a whole Medjool date at its heart.
This gives each piece its distinctive size, soft bite and depth of flavour.

Chocolate sweetened differently
The chocolate we use is sweetened with maltitol instead of conventional sugar.
This allows the cocoa, filling and natural sweetness of the date to work together without making ordinary sugar the focus of the chocolate coating.
The Medjool date itself still contains naturally occurring fruit sugars, which are part of what gives it its familiar caramel flavour.
Ingredients can vary between flavours, particularly in the fillings, so customers should always check the individual product page for complete ingredient and allergen information.
Flavour without playing it safe
A chocolate date should be more than a date dipped in chocolate.
Our signature Pistachio Kunafah Chocolate Dates combine a soft Medjool date with pistachio cream, crisp roasted kunafa and milk chocolate.
Across the wider collection, you will find combinations inspired by coffee, baklava, tropical fruit, nuts and traditional Middle Eastern flavours.
Each one is designed to bring together softness, crunch, creaminess and chocolate in a single bite.

A small treat that feels substantial
Chocolate covered Medjool dates are naturally generous in size. One or two pieces can provide a complete dessert experience, particularly when served with coffee or tea.
They can be enjoyed:
-
After dinner with coffee
-
As part of an afternoon tea spread
-
On a dessert or cheese board
-
When welcoming guests
-
As a thoughtful food gift
Their individual size also makes them easy to serve and share without cutting a larger dessert.
Made for gifting as well as eating
Chocolate dates have long been associated with hospitality, generosity and sharing.
Salahuddin brings that tradition into a modern format with distinctive flavours and gift ready packaging. They are suitable for Ramadan and Eid gifting, dinner invitations, weddings, family gatherings or simply sending someone an unexpected treat.
For customers who are new to the range, our Chocolate Date Discovery Pack provides six selected flavours to taste and share.
A different way to enjoy chocolate
Chocolate covered dates bring together the richness of chocolate, the natural character of Medjool fruit and fillings inspired by flavours from around the world.
They are not designed to imitate an ordinary chocolate sweet. They offer something more substantial, more textured and far more memorable.
That is our idea of a more thoughtful indulgence.
