The Sweet & Salty

The king of dates – the Medjool, filled to buttery perfection with toasted peanuts, dipped in 100% Peruvian cacao, then topped off with crushed peanuts and a light sprinkling of sea salt.
Naturally NaughtyEvery box of The Peanut contains six individually handcrafted Medjool dates, each one a masterpiece of flavour and texture. We start with the finest King Medjool dates — the largest, most caramel-rich variety available — prized for their naturally sweet, almost toffee-like flesh.
Each date is carefully pitted and generously filled with our house-made toasted peanut butter, slow-roasted to bring out a deep, earthy warmth with a distinctly rich and savoury character. The filled date is then hand-dipped in 100% single-origin Peruvian cacao — dark, velvety, and perfectly tempered for a satisfying snap.
To finish, we top each one with a scattering of crushed peanuts for an irresistible crunch and a light sprinkling of sea salt that brings the sweet and salty combination together in perfect harmony. The result is a treat that is deeply satisfying, naturally sweet yet savoury, and impossibly moreish — a timeless pairing elevated to an artisan level.

Our organic crunchy peanut butter is bold, nutty & satisfyingly addictive. Slow-roasted to release deep caramel notes, it's piped into a King Medjool date, coated in 100% Peruvian cacao & finished with crushed peanuts & sea salt. A timeless classic with a messy edge.
Bold, earthy & unapologetically satisfying — the peanut is the backbone of comfort food. We slow-roast organic peanuts to unlock deep caramel notes and a rich, savoury warmth that transforms into the creamiest, most addictive nut butter you'll taste. High in plant protein, magnesium & heart-healthy fats, peanuts deliver sustained energy without the crash. There's a reason the peanut one is often called the 'healthy Snickers' — it's the flavour people already love, stripped back to just real food.
