Today is: 
Chocolate Covered Raisins Day
We’ve had a number of more serious days lately, so today something a little less heavy: Chocolate Covered Raisins Day! Yum!
This day is all about a delicious sweet treat that doesn’t get the love it deserves. It lives in the hearts of theatergoers the world over, masquerades itself as a healthy addition to trail mix.
On the outside is the utter definition of decadence: sweet, delicious chocolate that shines in the light with its own inner richness. And within? Coated in a lover’s embrace that caresses every nook and cranny is that beloved childhood treat, the raisin.
Combined, these two come together to create a sweet and rich symphony of flavor on the tongue. Chocolate Covered Raisin Day celebrates this delicious treat and its place in the hearts (and mouths and stomachs) of people all over the world.
One of the most common and popular brands of chocolate-covered raisins on the market is Raisinets, first introduced to the United States in 1927 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. It was so successful for almost 60 years that candy giant Nestle took the opportunity to add the company to its holdings in 1984.
While many other brands have existed in the market at large, for many people, in the US, Raisinets are the ‘Kleenex’ of the chocolate-covered raisin world. When people there talk about chocolate-covered raisins, regardless of the brand, they often refer to them as Raisinets.
Celebrating Chocolate Covered Raisin Day doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. It’s an easy way to relax and enjoy the little things (literally) that make life special.
Basically, it’s Get > Eat > Share > Repeat 
This day presents the perfect opportunity to enjoy being generous by sharing chocolate-covered raisins with everyone around. Friends, neighbors, coworkers and family members might all enjoy being part of the celebration of Chocolate Covered Raisin Day!
For those who are of the creative, do-it-yourself persuasion, it’s even possible to use a crock-pot to melt down chocolate, whether dark, milk, white, or whatever is preferred and dip your own raisins in it. It might be a bit difficult to get them separated into individual pieces, but they taste just as good when they are stuck together.
Sure, they have some sugars and fat in them, but chocolate-covered raisins do actually have more nutritional value in them than many other candy treats.
Take into consideration the health benefits of raisins when eaten in moderation:
- Fiber: for cleaning out bacteria and helpful for the digestive system
- Vitamin E, A & K: important for cell repair and organ function
- Iron: great for the blood cells as well as for growth and hormonal health
- Calcium: for maintaining strong bones, muscles and heart
- Potassium: helps with nerve and muscle function
Although covering them with milk chocolate doesn’t make them more healthy, dark chocolate can actually be good for the body.
Have a wicked Wednesday my dudes
