Welcome to our series sharing Food Holiday: March 24th, 2022. I am happy to let you know this Holiday celebrates Chocolate although it also celebrates Raisins which leads us to Chocolate Covered Raisins which I don’t care for. I prefer Chocolate Covered Peanuts. How about you. Which one do you prefer and why?

National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISIN DAY

When it comes to a National Day, Chocolate-Covered Raisin or a box of Raisinets is worth celebrating and on March 24th, it’s National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day which celebrates Raisins coated in a shell of Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate.

Moviegoers have been snacking on Chocolate-Covered Raisins for many years. Popcorn, and a box of Chocolate-Covered Raisins go together perfectly, and it doesn’t matter which genre of movie you see. Chocolate-Covered Raisins are a conventional bulk vending item across the Country.

Did you know more than 1 million Raisinets are produced per hour?

Did you know Raisins are an excellent source of Calcium, Potassium, Iron, Fiber, and Vitamin B.  When you combine the Raisins with Dark Chocolate, you have a healthy snack.  

HOW TO OBSERVE #ChocolateCoveredRaisinDay

In some Countries, Chocolate-Covered Raisins are known as Raisinets and Raisinets produced the first and one of the most popular brands of Raisinets. Raisinets are currently made by Nestle, and they are the third-largest selling candy in United States history. The Blumenthal Chocolate Company introduced Raisinets to the United States in 1927, and then in 1984, Nestle acquired the brand. However, a large number of other brands produce Chocolate-Covered Raisins for us to enjoy.
