Whole Medjool dates filled with spiced sunflower butter, dipped in dark chocolate, and finished with a pinch of sea salt. Sweet, salty, a little heat — and genuinely hard to stop at one. These make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves artisan food, or a treat worth keeping all to yourself.
Handcrafted in small batches in Rhode Island using sustainably grown Californian dates and single-origin spices sourced directly from farmers. No shortcuts, no preservatives — just real ingredients made with care.
Produced in a facility that also handles peanuts, tree nuts, soy, dairy, gluten, and eggs.
Light a candle. Pour a glass. It's time for your Hot Date.
Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Clozist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.
With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.
Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?
We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.
Why 2 bottles?
Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.
**Hot Date Kitchen – Delicious Snacks with a Purpose**
Hot Date Kitchen is a small, mission-driven food company founded by Robbie Madfis, a chef and food entrepreneur who believes that great food should nourish people while respecting the planet. Born from a passion for simple, wholesome ingredients and sustainable food systems, the company creates handcrafted, plant-based snacks designed to be as thoughtful as they are delicious.
The brand's signature products are made with carefully selected ingredients chosen not only for their flavor and nutritional value, but also for their environmental impact. Hot Date Kitchen prioritizes plant-based, shelf-stable ingredients and works closely with suppliers that share strong sustainability practices. For example, the company uses sunflower butter instead of almond butter because sunflower crops require significantly less water, helping reduce the environmental footprint of its products.
Sustainability is embedded throughout every aspect of the business. Hot Date Kitchen is committed to responsible ingredient sourcing, energy-conscious operations, lower-impact distribution, and ongoing improvements in packaging. The company has also invested in measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and operates as a carbon-neutral business by offsetting emissions that cannot yet be eliminated.
Beyond environmental responsibility, Hot Date Kitchen is dedicated to creating positive social impact. The company donates a portion of its profits to organizations focused on climate action and poverty reduction, demonstrating a commitment to supporting both people and the planet.
By combining ethically sourced ingredients, small-batch production, climate-conscious practices, and a genuine passion for good food, Hot Date Kitchen offers snacks that consumers can feel good about enjoying. The brand represents a new generation of food companies proving that sustainability, quality, and exceptional taste can go hand in hand.
