Comments

  4. Thank You for the chance. My son is obsessed with the snickerdoodle muffins and the chocolate chip ones.

  8. The individual packs are good for putting in lunches, but how can we make the packaging more eco-friendly?

  10. This is a lovely giveaway! My other half would be thrilled if I could give her something like this, as she’s a longtime fan of Entenmann’s.

  28. I’m disappointed to see that the advertising for this promotion has rewritten the three Rs “Reduce, Reuse and Recyle” to leave out the word Reduce. The reason for this is obvious. This type of packaging does nothing to reduce waste.

    I also suspect, and please someone correct me if I am wrong, that these bags are being mailed to Terrasycle because they are not compatible with most municipal recycling programs.

    To any adult this is an obvious greenwashing campaign but children may be more oblivious to the deception. I hope that few schools will fall for this and that many will use it as an opportunity to talk about the much greener options. (Like buying or making muffins in paper cups and transporting them in paper or more easily recyled plastic bags.)

Quick and Easy Dubai Chocolate-Dipped Dates

I’m completely smitten with the idea of Dubai-style desserts — elegant, a touch exotic, and somehow always Instagram-ready. I haven’t made it to Dubai (yet), but these chocolate-dipped dates bring that luxe, golden glow right into my kitchen. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent hours making them, but really, you’re done in under twenty minutes.

They’re sweet, sticky, nutty, and just the right amount of fancy. Perfect for gifting, nibbling with coffee, or impressing that friend who thinks “homemade” means complicated.

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted 
  • ¼ cup pistachios or almonds (to stuff inside) 
  • 100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer it sweet) 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate) 
  • Crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold flakes for decoration 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dates:
     Slice each date along one side to remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact. Fill the cavity with a whole almond or a few chopped pistachios. Gently close the date back up.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
     Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip and Decorate:
     Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, coconut, or a pinch of edible gold flakes for that Dubai sparkle.
  4. Chill and Serve:
     Pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Serve on a pretty platter or package them in small gift boxes.

Optional Flavor Twists

  • Rose Touch: Add a drop of rose water to the melted chocolate for a floral note. 
  • Saffron Luxe: Dust the top with crushed saffron threads before chilling. 
  • Coffee Kick: Dip in mocha-flavored chocolate for a bolder bite. 

Why You’ll Love These

They’re everything Dubai desserts stand for — rich, refined, and effortlessly elegant. A little old-world tradition wrapped in modern chocolate bliss. Keep a few in the fridge for when you need something sweet but can’t be bothered to turn on the oven.
