Wholesome Yet Room for Improvement
Packed with dates, hazelnuts, and peanuts, they undeniably bring a wholesome blend of flavors that align with my preference for healthy snacking. The vegan and gluten-free aspects cater to a broader audience, making these bites inclusive and suitable for various dietary needs. The pack of 6x10 balls provides ample quantity, ensuring a convenient and shareable snacking solution.While the combination is commendable, the sweetness might be a tad overwhelming for those sensitive to sugary snacks. A more balanced sweetness level would enhance the overall taste experience. The resealable packaging is a practical feature, maintaining the freshness of the bites, but the compact size might not suit everyone's preference. Some users might prefer a larger individual serving size for a more satisfying snack.

Healthy snack with good protein and fiber
These nutty bites are great snacks. There's a decent amount of fiber and protein in them but they are not a low-calorie food. I counted the number of balls in one pack, and it was 10. I don't know if they're all like that, but you can get a good estimate of how many calories in one nut ball by dividing the nutrition facts by 10. So one hazelnut nut ball is about 46 calories.I like these a lot. At first I was indifferent, but after eating a few of them I've gotten used to the texture. It is somewhat like a rum ball, except there's no booze and there is a filling.Both the hazelnut and peanut butter have good flavor. I eat a couple and feel good, but the urge to eat more is real. The good thing is that each pouch is resealable, so you don't have to eat them in one sitting. They stay fresh in the pouch and the pouches are a good size to pack into lunches or take to the office or on trips. Because they are finger food they can be a little oily, so bear this in mind if you're driving or work in a construction environment where you might not want to eat with your bare hands.The only downside is the price. As I'm writing this, it's almost $28 for a pack of six pouches, so they're running more than $4.60 a pouch. But it is real food and it has basic, good ingredients without a bunch of additives. You can probably get a few servings from each pouch, so that does factor into the cost.Made in Turkey.

Nutty Delight with a Health-Conscious Twist
I'm always on the lookout for snacks that align with my health goals, and Zest Delites' variety packs hit the spot. The flavors are versatile and quite delicious, with textures that make snacking an experience rather than a routine. Each bite is dense with energy and satiates my cravings without the guilt, thanks to the low calorie count. However, the price does feel a bit steep considering the amount you get. Regardless, they've become a staple in my pantry for days when I need a quick, nutritious pick-me-up.

Not that good
I've tried both the peanut and hazelnut and neither excited my taste buds. These are basically a date ball with peanuts or hazelnuts mixed in. The peanut ones have coconut flakes on the outside and the hazelnut ones have slivers of hazelnuts on the outside. I never really tasted any peanut butter. The peanut flavored ones are ok, but I don't care for the hazelnut balls at all. For the price, I would say they are just not worth it. Maybe if you really love the taste of dates. The ingredients listed I think are pretty healthy, so maybe these would be a good alternative to junk food if you don't mind paying more for something healthy.

Not enjoyable and covered in coconut
Nothing in the product photos or description said that these would be covered in coconut, I hate coconut and its such a prominent flavor that I cannot enjoy them. I wouldn't recommend at all. They're dry and not tasty.

Tasty Little Date Balls
Six small bags of these Zest Delites Bomb Snacks with Hazelnut and Peanut Butter, a product from Istanbul, Türkiye, each one containing 10 diminutive spherical treats, come nicely packaged in an attractive cardboard box suitable for gifting.The “nutty bites” look like old-fashioned malted milk balls, except that, rather than being smooth chocolate, each one is lightly dusted with small pieces of peanuts or hazelnuts. Since the bites so closely resembled malted milk balls, I expected them to be as hard and brittle as the old-time snack. But they’re not at all hard. Their texture is similar to dates, which isn’t surprising because “Dates” are the first item on the short ingredient list, which contains only quality, healthy, “real” ingredients with no objectionable chemicals or other questionable additions.To their credit, the bites are not very sweet at all. The flavor, mouthfeel and natural sweetness of dates are the prevalent characteristics, tempered a little by subtle notes of peanuts or hazelnuts. They’re very rich, though; when my wife and I taste-tested them, we both decided that two of the little spheres were plenty. Each bag has an excellent tight zip-lock seal, so you don’t have to eat all 10 of them in one sitting or ransack the kitchen looking for something to store the leftovers in.For their excellent flavor, healthy ingredients and convenient resealable packaging, these little treats earn a five-star rating.Happy snacking!

Tastes about like you would expect
These are not the most delicious snacks I've had, but they're not bad considering the healthy content. These are similar to other protein bars or protein balls in flavor and texture.I personally like the hazelnut ones a little more than the peanut ones.Overall I think for the amount you get for the price, they're a pretty good value.

Not so great to me
Healthy Snacks for Adults by Zest DelitesThese are expensive snacks that to be honest, to me don’t taste that great. I guess they’re healthier but I’d like some good taste, too. They have two flavors hazelnut and peanut. I like the peanut one a little better but I won’t be getting more. Generally, I like dates, hazelnuts and peanuts so I don’t know why these are, not so much. I can’t recommend these unless you really want to try them.
