Dave & Jons Sour Apple & Elderflower Dates

Okay, we know what you’re thinking.

Dates? In a candy order?

Give these a chance.

Dave & Jon’s Sour Apple & Elderflower Dates take naturally sweet, chewy dates and give them a completely different personality with the fresh flavor of sour apple and elderflower.

The dates provide a soft, satisfyingly chewy base with plenty of natural sweetness. Then the apple comes through with its bright, sour character, while elderflower adds a lighter floral note in the background. It sounds like an unusual combination — because it is — but somehow it works ridiculously well.

And that's exactly what makes Dave & Jon's flavored dates so much fun.

Instead of covering dates in chocolate or trying to disguise what they are, the fruit itself remains the star. The added flavors simply turn something familiar into a snack that feels much closer to the experience of eating candy.

If you love sour apple candy, this is definitely one of the more unexpected ways to get that flavor. You still get the soft chew and sweetness you'd expect from dates, but with a fresh sour finish that makes the whole thing much more interesting.

The elderflower is a particularly Scandinavian touch. Elderflower drinks and flavors are hugely popular across Sweden and the Nordic countries, and pairing it with apple gives these dates a fresh, summery personality.

They're great when you're craving something sweet, as an afternoon snack, or simply when you want to try something different from traditional Swedish gummies and foam candy.

And yes, they're still dates.

But after a couple of bites, you might stop thinking about that part.

Sweet dates. Sour apple. Floral elderflower. One seriously unexpected Scandinavian snack. 🍏🌼
