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.

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