In 2017 just one year out of college, founder Robbie Madfis found himself working long hours for a startup company. He found solace in the kitchen by experimenting with novel and sometimes strange combinations. Once 2018 rolled around, he quit his startup job and fully committed himself to small passion projects through food. When a good friend of his challenged him to create a dessert recipe that was gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan, he knew he had met his match. The combination of dried fruit, chocolate, seed butter, and spice produced a magical flavor that eventually led to the creation of Hot Dates. Made right here in Boston, MA, Robbie and the other members of Hot Dates drive to push the boundaries of food and expand your palates.
California Medjool dates stuffed with spiced sunflower butter and dunked in rich dark chocolate, creating a sweet, salty, spicy treat with real taste and personality. What started as a blog recipe turned into a small batch snack sensation. Hot Date Kitchen’s snacks are vegan, gluten-free, and made without artificial additives, making them perfect for health-minded eaters. The brand prides itself on using sustainably grown Medjool dates, single origin spices, fair trade chocolate, and U.S. sunflower butter all chosen not just for flavor but for environmental and social impact. As part of its positive, feel-good vibe, Hot Date Kitchen is Certified Carbon Neutral and donates 10% of profits to charities focused on climate change and global poverty! Sold right here in out lobby market, Hot Dates make the perfect sweet treat.
