Wanna date? No, seriously, anyone want to date? Quarantine is getting incredibly lonely and I could really use a cuddle buddy to binge-watch the Great British Bakeoff with… and eat date spread with. 

What’s date spread you ask? Well, great question, reader. A new company on the market called “Wanna Date?” has created a whole line of vegan, low-sugar spreads created from, you guessed it, dates. 

I actually saw this product for the first time on an Instagram ad (a very targeted one apparently), because the second I saw it, I bought it. They come in all different flavors, but the one I got was the chocolate spread one. 

I was hoping it would taste like a less-hazelnutty Nutella, but I was a little disappointed with the flavor. It definitely had a fruity, almost sour, taste to it. Instead of tasting like Nutella, it tasted like a fruit/date spread mixed with some cocoa powder. 

Is it a healthier alternative to dessert spreads? Absolutely. Will I eat it on toast and enjoy it? Probably. Would I buy it again? Probably not. But if you want to check out their products for yourself, here is their website: https://eatwannadate.com 

Enjoy these dates because, in this pandemic, I doubt you’ll be enjoying any others.
