Raisinets

raisinets Pictures, Images and Photos


So, a while back I had a discussion with Aubrey, aka HurricaneAubrey, about the delicious confection called Raisinets. As most of you know, a Raisinet(please imagine me saying this word with lots of omnipotent echo and reverb) is simply a raisin, purportedly nature's candy, covered in milk chocolate.

This is one of those foods where you forget how tasty it is because you don't eat it often, but sweet Moses, when you do open a bag(or box) of Raisinets, in most cases you can't stop eating them until said bag/box is empty.

Anywho, Aubrey mentioned eating some today and I felt inspired to eat some in concert. Sadly, TRAGICALLY, there are no Raisinets to be found around the house and I kind of feel like it's a movie theater candy.

So, uh... I found some Icebreakers Sours in my car... Sadly, a sugar-free fruit flavored mints do not fulfill my ravenous, chocolaty, raisin-y hunger...

However, my breath is pleasantly watermelon scented.

just buy a box of raisins and a bar of chocolate. melt the bar of chocolate, and dip the raisins in.

voila! raisinets!

I've never heard of Rainsinets, but here we have some strange, no-name, chocolate covered raisins. Still effing delicious.

Argh! Now reading this is making me crave Raisinets (just about the most delicious movie theater candy ever created). But sadly, all I have at my house are Jolly Ranchers and odd-looking Korean candies. Bleh.

I wanted Raisinets at the movies yesterday but I didn't want to pay 3 dollars for them. I'm still craving them. =[
