March 24- Today is National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day

These are good to snack on, quick energy. I noticed Sun*Maid had a 40 cents off coupon in the Sunday Paper Coupons.

I wish they made them with dark chocolate on them.

Yummm! I love chocolate covered raisins. And they are made in dark chocolate. Some of my local stores buy candy/snacks in bulk and repackage them in store bags. i think that's where I got them but I have no idea which company made them.

I have a wonderful memmory of a candy bar they used to make when I was a kid: it was called "Chunky" and as I remember, it was filled with raisins and cashews....it was delicious!

....oh dear, I am having a sudden craving for chocolate covered raisins and I don't have any raisins on hand, but I do have some dried mulberries and some semi-sweet chocolate and nuts. Who knows, maybe I'll create the next taste sensation!

I love chocolate covered raisins. We buy the Kirkland brand at Costco - delicious!!

Since it is their day, you gave me a reason to have some right now!

I also remember Chunky candy in the silver foil wrapper.

They do have dark chocolate covered raisins. I eat them often, they are one of my favorite treats.

The same company that makes Goobers chocolate covered peanuts makes the dark chocolate covered raisins. Can't think of the name of it right now.

I love your "Today is National...." posts. I too love chocolate covered raisins. I can't eat raisins on their own - they definitely need to be dunked in chocolate!! Yes, Raisinettes (sp?) makes dark chocolate ones. Enjoy 'em!!
