Chocolate Covered Raisins
What it is
These are plump, sweet raisins that have been enrobed in a coating of smooth milk chocolate. The natural chewiness of the dried fruit contrasts with the creamy texture of the chocolate. They offer a satisfying combination of sweet and slightly tart flavors. This snack is ready to eat straight from the package.
