At $8 for a box of 10, it&#8217;s a little spendy. But they come individually wrapped and you could easily put them out in a dish for a little sweet treat at a holiday get together.

You get sweetness and a little bit of texture from the date, but I wish it had more peanut butter. Overall, it&#8217;s a pretty clean sweet treat, and you do get a little (and I mean little) bit of fiber and potassium from the date. But would I rather just have a couple of peanut butter cups? Probably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trader-joes-date-royale-nutrition-facts-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload_inited wp-image-22610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trader-joes-date-royale-nutrition-facts-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trader-joes-date-royale-nutrition-facts-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trader-joes-date-royale-nutrition-facts-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/trader-joes-date-royale-nutrition-facts.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.412), 18px);px\">Overall for me, these are fine, but there&#8217;s nothing particularly amazing about them.
