National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day
It's National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day! Did you know that Nestlé Raisinets are one of the most popular candies for moviegoers? People can’t get enough of the delicious fruit and dark chocolate combination!
Culinary historians believe that humans first discovered raisins when they came across grapes drying on a vine. These sundried morsels soon became one of the most popular food sweeteners, second only to honey. Raisins are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, and certain B vitamins. Add some dark chocolate into the mix, and you’ll also get a healthy dose of antioxidants and important minerals.
Enjoy a handful of chocolate-covered raisins today in honor of National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day!
