Confessions of a Raisinets Eater













Only Wikipedia would cite them under "Chocolate-covered raisin."

"In the United States, they are also known as Raisinets."

Gimme a break!

I've been eating them since I was a little kid and I still love 'em.

They're a classic movie theater snack because a bag or box lasts forever, you get a zillion of them, and — bonus! — they're silent: no unwrapping/crackling noises/crunching sounds.

I tried the dark chocolate iteration last year since I prefer dark chocolate to milk but soon decided that dark chocolate Raisinets were a FAIL: that combination lacks the perfection of the original's combination of chewy and sweet.

Nowadays I keep mine chilled in the freezer until a good movie or game on TV rings my snack bell.

At stores everywhere.

Also at Amazon.

  1. YES! I was just watching Wicked with family this weekend and was mercilessly mocked for my Raisinets choice. Raisinets fans are few but mighty!
