Thumbs up!
I like these! They’re truly guilt free. I’m working on healing my relationship with food and these make me feel good looking at the macros. You have to go into it open minded. I loved the dark chocolate covered dates I made while pregnant but was worried about the coating. The coating is shockingly super flavorful. No dyes in them which I also love. I was weary about them taking too long to chew so I felt like I was just eating a plain date but I don’t feel that at all. My husband tried them and said they were pretty good and he isn’t a date guy. The outside is a hard shell and the inside is chewy.

Watermelon Flavored Candy Dates
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Smood Sweet Sour Watermelon flavored dates are a good treat. If you’re looking for a healthier candy like treat- the watermelon flavor comes through well on these dates. The outside coating is thick, and crumbles when you bite into the date. The date inside is harder than a regular date but overall this is a good treat with some health benefits.

Incredibly tasty but healthier snack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to try these out at first, but have become a huge fan of these candy dates. I have tried multiple flavors and these are probably my favorite. They just taste so similar to one of my favorite candies. But I love that there is no added sugar and that it uses whole pitted dates to get the chewiness. So yummy!.

Pleasantly surprised very good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have never eaten dates before and unless they had coating like this, I do not think we would even try them. These have a very strong source smell to them when you open the bag. My son said they taste sour but not as strong as they smell. The dates themselves he said were chewy. Overall, he really liked them.

Truly tasted like real candy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have now tried all the flavors of these dates and can definitely say I am a fan! These tasted just like sour watermelon candies but a much healthier version. I love that they have no sugar added but take advantage of the dates natural chewiness and sweetness to create gummy candy. And compared to a normal bag of candy I actually felt like I could just stick to the serving size and satisfy my sweet tooth

Unique and fun healthy snack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a good sized date , covered in a candy shell with no added sugar! They are chewy and fresh with no stale or dry taste to them. I like that the bag is resealable so they can easily be taken on the go! I enjoyed them knowing that they are a healthier choice. This flavor was more of a sour candy so if you like that try them!

Delicious sour watermelon candy dates
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the Smood Sweets sour watermelon candy dates. These are actually super good. They have a hard candy coating over a fairly large date. They are tangy but not too sour, not too sweet, the date is firm and chewy but not hard. These are so different but they are really good. Perfect for when you need a sweet treat but don’t want to over do it. 4 pieces are 80 calories and there is no added sugar. My kids loved these!

Delicious and Hard to Just Eat a Couple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had low expectations for these and didn’t really know what to expect. My first impression was that the dates were larger and more varied in shape than I expected, though that seems obvious when you consider that dates do tend to be random. The candy shell is so sweet and tangy that it’s hard to believe it’s not made of a more typical sugar-containing candy. The watermelon flavor is very nostalgic and I am very impressed with how well this combination worked. I put the bag back after taking out a couple and then went for more, which is not typical for me. So I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like these and I think they fill a niche in tasting like something unhealthy while actually being reasonably good for you. I did have a long, sharp pit in one, so be cautious about sharing with small children! The package also warns against pits so I knew to be careful.

“Healthy” candy that my kids will eat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were really surprised with how good these were. They tasted like sour watermelon candy and had a nice crunchy coating. I love that they do not have any added color, flavor or sweeteners. We tried this flavor and the sweet berry fish flavor. Everyone preferred the watermelon. I will definitely buy more of this brand.

Sour watermelon candy dates
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love dates and wasn't sure what to expect, so these were interesting to say the least. The shell does taste like sour watermelon candy and is a bright green color so kids might like these. The shell, unfortunately, totally covers up any date flavor. There were only 12 pieces in the bag so a little pricey for just a few servings.

Nice flavor, but too sweet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pretty impressed with these! The sour flavor is good for me, not too sour but still has some hit to it. The only thing is for me it’s a little too sweet - dates are already so sweet, and then the coating has even more sweetener in it. But I still enjoy and think they’re a great alternative to more sugary snacks if you have that craving!

What a tasty sweet treat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love dates and zero sugar sweet treat snacks, so I was super excited to try this out! I also love sour candy and was intrigued with the sour watermelon shell. The dates are pitted, which is really nice. The sour watermelon crunchy shell is a mild sour flavor, so if you like strong sour flavors, this probably isn’t for you. I really enjoyed the crunchy shell with the sweetness of the date. These are the perfect snack for traveling or after dinner!

A sweet and sour delicious treat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried dates before and purchased the snack as a healthy option to provide for my kiddos. The sour mixed with the sweet is a perfect combination. The hardshell candy coating is delicious in spot on visually things don’t look as I expected. They would. The packaging is beautiful but leaves a less than desirable amount inside with most of it being filled with air. I would suggest smaller packaging as do not upset anyone has when I open this item I was astonished to see how few items were inside.

Sour watermelon date “candy”
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not enjoy these but they were super unique and although the flavor wasn’t my favorite, they were good! The texture was perfect with the crunchy candy coating and then the date inside. The sour aspect really threw me off and that’s what I didn’t like, but overall they’re not bad. Decently healthy compared to true candy as well.

Chewy and a little sour taste
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These candied dates were an interesting taste. The flavor was decent, the shell was crunchy, and the inside was chewy. The bright green color threw me off a little. My kids tried one and said they liked it so that was a fun treat for them. The package only has 11 pieces inside which seems too little. However, I think you can only eat a few at a time so they’d last longer than other candy snacks.

So good, very enjoyable candy treat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure what to expect at first with these however they are amazing. The outside has a perfect crunch to it and the inside is so soft. The watermelon candy coating flavoring gave me that sour taste right away but then it calms with the watermelon and the soft chewy date inside. They also are all very nice sized pieces so you get that satisfied sweet to meet your sweet tooth. It’s so good you should absolutely buy this!

My kids absolutely LOVED these things
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, at first my family was skeptical when I handed these to them and told them they were candy. Eventually I got them to take a bite, and they were begging for more! My kids love candy and I don’t really like feeding little ones all that processed sugar so this was great since it’s dates and they loved as much as if it were actual candy!
