About This Candy
Rich Swedish Dates with Oats, Cocoa, and Coconut
Chocolate ball date bites deliver a dense, fudge-like chew that opens with a deep cocoa richness and rolls into the natural caramel sweetness of whole dates. The real oats add a grainy, bakery-like texture that mirrors the classic Swedish chokladboll everyone grew up making in the kitchen. As a result, the shredded coconut brings a light tropical sweetness and a subtle crunch that breaks up the dense date-and-oat center. Every bite carries that unmistakable cocoa-coconut-oat combination that defines the iconic Swedish chocolate ball. In addition, a pinch of salt at 0.2g per 100g lifts the chocolate notes and sharpens the contrast between sweet and bitter.
The coconut oil and shea oil in the recipe create the richest mouthfeel in the entire Dave & Jon's range at 16.4g fat per 100g. Similarly, the cocoa flavor deepens as you chew because the powder releases slowly from the sticky date matrix. Furthermore, the oats give these bites a more substantial, meal-like quality that keeps hunger away longer than lighter date candies. Each piece holds together firmly without crumbling despite the complex mix of ingredients. Overall, these bites capture the soul of a Swedish fika classic using seven natural ingredients and zero added sugar.
Why This Chokladboll Date Leads the Range
This Swedish chokladboll flavored date candy comes from Dave & Jon's, produced by Famora Foods in Uppsala, Sweden, pioneers of the world's first flavored date range. The chocolate ball flavor recreates Sweden's most popular homemade treat where oats, cocoa, coconut, and butter get rolled into no-bake balls at kitchen tables across the country. In contrast, most chocolate-flavored date products simply dip dates in chocolate coating without building the internal texture. Consequently, the Dave & Jon's version delivers the full chokladboll experience because the oats, cocoa, and coconut are mixed into the date flesh rather than layered on top. The recipe carries the highest calorie density in the range at 409 kcal per 100g. Kandy Lover ships every pack fresh from Sweden with free shipping worldwide.
