Date and orange chocolate is a sweet that combines chocolate with the sweetness of dates and the citrus flavour of orange. Recipes vary: dates may be mixed in as pieces or paste, or used to sweeten the chocolate.
You can make date and orange chocolate by stirring chopped dates and finely grated orange zest into melted chocolate, then setting the mixture in a mould. Grate only the coloured zest, since the white pith can taste bitter.
It may contain added sugar, depending on the chocolate and recipe. Dates add natural sweetness, but they do not guarantee that a finished product is sugar-free. When making it at home, taste the mixture before adding any extra sweetener.
Store date and orange chocolate in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. In warm weather, refrigerate it to prevent melting; keep it covered so it does not absorb odours or moisture.
Yes, date and orange chocolate can be frozen in an airtight container. Separate the pieces so they do not stick together, then thaw them in the refrigerator before serving to reduce condensation on the chocolate.
Date and orange chocolate pairs well with black coffee, espresso, or unsweetened tea. Its fruity sweetness also works with toasted nuts, though the chocolate itself is rich enough to serve as a small dessert.
Not always. Some versions use dairy chocolate, so date and orange chocolate can contain milk even though dates and orange are plant-based. A homemade version can use dairy-free chocolate, but the recipe still determines the result.
Children can have date and orange chocolate as an occasional sweet, but sticky date pieces may be a choking hazard for very young children. Offer an age-appropriate texture and small pieces, and supervise young children while they eat.
Date and orange chocolate can raise blood sugar because dates and chocolate both contribute carbohydrates and sugars. Anyone managing diabetes should account for the portion in their eating plan and ask their clinician or dietitian if unsure.
You can add orange juice, but it may make melted chocolate seize or turn grainy because water disrupts its texture. Orange zest gives a clearer citrus flavour without adding liquid; use juice only in a recipe designed for it.

Date and orange chocolate brings together chocolate, the rich sweetness of dates and a bright citrus note. Depending on the recipe, dates may be blended into the chocolate or used as a sweet filling, so the texture can range from smooth and dense to slightly chewy.
It works as a small after-dinner sweet, with coffee, or as part of a treat with tea; a little goes a long way. Its sweetness and energy are concentrated, though it also provides fibre: 100 g contains 455 kcal. For a less-heavy serving, enjoy a modest piece with unsweetened tea or black coffee, or pair it with fresh fruit.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
