I'm not really big on chocolate covered raisins. I prefer my chocolate sans fruit for the most part (leaving aside my occasional obsession with chocolate dipped strawberries). I'm not really a fan of raisins either. And I have to wonder why anybody would create a DAY to celebrate this particular choccy covered fruit... let alone a "National" holiday. Nevertheless, here it is, March 24, National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day.
Go forth and celebrate! Eat some wrinkled dried grape redeemed by milk chocolate goodness!

The absolute best combination would be chocolate raisins dipped in Kona Coffee from www.martinezfinecoffees.com...or it could just be Kona Coffee from Martinez Fine Coffees

Totally agree with you. Chocolate is better when not applied to dried fruits. Especially raisins. Regular fruit like strawberries or pineapple? Dip away!!

These pics remind me of the sweets I had when I went to tea at the ritz. Kind of pointless eating all of that sugar when you're out to sample some fine teas. By the end of the first round your tastebuds are so saturated with sugar you can't tell your green tea from your earl grey. If I'm honest though, I went for the sweets and not the tea.

Who can resist chocalate ? I know I can't for sure, I enjoy a treat every once in a while to keep a smile on my face. While enjoying my treats I must have a cup of coffee with cinnamon. Yum
