These chocolate-covered raisins are ready to eat straight from the package. For baking, they can be mixed into cookie dough before baking, folded into muffin batter, or sprinkled over cakes and cupcakes as a decorative and flavorful element. They can also be melted down with other chocolates to create a ganache or used as a component in homemade candy bars. Their small size makes them easy to distribute evenly in baked goods.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining chocolate-covered raisins in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent the chocolate from melting or the raisins from drying out. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect the texture.
