Hero — tray of dates in pleated cups, overhead on blush

Dessert, but make it a first date.

Five ingredients. That's it. A Medjool date, something rich, something crunchy, dark chocolate, and a little something that makes you look twice.

No fillers. No seed oils. Nothing you can't pronounce. Just the good part.

Every one of them is a good time. Some are trouble.

Founder at the market table

I've had over 10,000 dates in my life.

Most of them were Medjool. A few were memorable.

First Dates started in a Toronto kitchen with a simple idea: that the best desserts don't need twelve ingredients and a paragraph of explanation. Five things, chosen properly, chilled and dressed to impress.

Every box is still made by hand, in small batches, here.

Better than flowers. Lasts about as long.

Kraft box, blush label, no wrapping required. Birthdays, thank-yous, apologies, "just because," and the occasional grand gesture.

Available for events, markets and corporate gifting.
