Raisins are basically the perfect snack food. No special storage needs, no prep time, just grab 'em and go! They're also mighty versatile: you can eat them alone, or use them to jazz up your trail mix, cinnamon bread, oatmeal cookies or a whole host of other yummy eats. It shouldn't surprise you that our favorite way to enjoy these little wonders is in the form of Raisinets. There's nothing too fancy about them, just a tasty little California raisin with a delightful coating of Nestle chocolate. The flavor, though, is out of this world. Along with their nutty cousins, Goobers, Raisinets remind us that you don't have to throw a zillion ingredients together to make a scrumptious candy. Sometimes keeping it simple is the way to go!
Jimmy Sweet Tooth says: Time for another Jimmy Sweet Tooth confession: I am an incurable Goobers fan, and they will always be my #1 chocolate-covered anything. That said, Raisinets are almost as good in my book. They hit you with a delectable wave of chocolate that mellows down into the fruity and even earthy flavors of the raisins inside, all while you enjoy their soft chew. That's quite the flavor profile for a movie theater snack! Plus, the fact that there are raisins involved lets me tell myself that they're basically health food...right?
P.S. Somebody please bake these into oatmeal cookies, stat!
