SMOOD Candy Dates are whole, pitted dates covered in a naturally flavored crunchy candy shell. Think of them as the next generation of candy — the sweetness and chew of real fruit with the crunch and flavor you expect from your favorite candy.
Nature made them sweet and chewy. We brought the crunch.
Dates are naturally sweet, satisfyingly chewy and make the perfect center for our crunchy candy shell. No added sugar needed.
Nope. Our Candy Dates have no added sugar. We let the natural sweetness of the dates do its thing.
We keep things simple. Our Candy Dates start with whole pitted dates and are coated in a crunchy shell made with carefully selected ingredients, natural flavors and colors from natural sources.
Ingredients vary by flavor, so always check the package for the complete and most up-to-date ingredient list.
No. SMOOD Candy Dates are made without artificial flavors or artificial colors. Our flavors and colors come from natural sources.
Ingredients and manufacturing conditions can vary by flavor, so we always recommend checking the allergen statement and ingredient list on the package before enjoying SMOOD — especially if you have a food allergy or sensitivity.
If you have a specific allergen question, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Yes! Our Candy Dates are made with plant-based ingredients.
Yes, our Candy Dates are gluten-free.
Our dates are pitted before they become Candy Dates, but because dates are a whole fruit and pits are removed mechanically, an occasional pit or pit fragment may remain.
We take quality and safety seriously and have multiple measures in place to reduce this possibility. However, no pitting process can guarantee the complete absence of pits or pit fragments, so we always recommend enjoying Candy Dates with care.
We’re sorry you found one! While rare, an occasional pit or pit fragment can remain after the pitting process.
Please stop eating the affected piece and contact us with a photo of the product, the flavor and the lot information printed on the package. This helps our team trace the product and investigate it with our production partners.
Dates are grown by nature, not manufactured to a perfectly uniform shape. Commercial pitting equipment removes the pits before our dates are coated, but natural variations in the fruit mean an occasional pit or fragment can make it through.
We use additional quality-control measures to minimize this risk, but like other products made with pitted whole fruit, we cannot guarantee 100% pit removal.
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Once you open a bag, reseal it to help keep that signature SMOOD crunch.
Please refer to the best-by date printed on your bag. For the best texture and crunch, store your Candy Dates in a cool, dry place.

Not at all. In fact, that’s kind of the point.
We created Candy Dates to give dates an entirely new personality. If you think you don’t like dates, we’d argue you probably just haven’t tried them covered in a crunchy candy shell yet.
