National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day
Chocolate Covered Raisins are exactly what they sound like – raisins covered in chocolate. The most famous brand of this candy is Raisinets. They were first made by a candy store in Philadelphia in 1927. In 1984, Nestle purchased the rights to make the candy. Raisins are a healthy snack as they are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, and certain B vitamins. Dark chocolate in moderation is also a healthy snack. Together they make a great mid-day snack, satisfying both your hunger pains and the need for a bit of chocolate.
