If you’ve travelled to the Middle East, then you may have tasted Chocodates – exquisite hand-made bite-sized treats consisting of a soft juicy velvety Arabian date, enrobed in rich, silky chocolate and filled with a golden roasted almond.
The great news is that they are now available in South Africa at your favourite supermarkets.
Made in Dubai, they make a great sweet snack – or dessert – as they're not just delicious, but also nutritious due to the health benefits of dates and almonds. They’re 100% gluten-free, and contain superfoods high in minerals, antioxidants and vitamins.
Chocodates come in 6 different varieties: Caramel, Coconut, Milk, Dark, White and Sugar-free. Each pack contains 7-8 individually wrapped delicacies. It’s hard to choose a favourite but if I had to – then it would have to be the Caramel flavour. The dark and sugar-free varieties were also quite popular with my family.
If you haven’t tried them yet, you must – but be warned, they’re seriously addictive. I’ve been having a hard time keeping my family away from them long enough to take photos!
Chocodates are currently available at Spar, Pick n Pay and Checkers in Western Cape. They will be available at Dis-Chem at the end of June and Checkers Gauteng in July. #chocodates #halaal #southafricahalaal #healthysnacks #southafrica #gifted
