Some disagree with this holiday.
They see no raisin to spoil their chocolate.

Do you ever sit down with a box of chocolate covered raisins and think to yourself, “Does anyone even like these?” Well, not that there’s anything wrong with that, because March 24 is Chocolate Covered Raisins Day! 

Whether you love them or hate them, there’s a special day coming up just for them!
Since the beginning of this millennium, or even before, Chocolate Covered Raisins Day has been dedicated to celebrating those little wrinkly fruits that have been coated in chocolate. So we guess it’s official now!

Why we celebrate Chocolate Covered Raisins Day

Now, the origin of Chocolate Covered Raisins Day is a bit murky, to say the least.
Some say it was created by a secret society of raisin-lovers who wanted to trick the world into eating more raisins. And still, others believe that it was simply a marketing ploy by the makers of Raisinets. Sadly enough, both sound equally plausible!
But let’s not get bogged down in details, it’s time to celebrate!

Let’s sort by controversial

So, what exactly are chocolate covered raisins? Well, they’re pretty self-explanatory – they’re raisins that have been coated in chocolate. But the real question is, are they a waste of good chocolate? Some people might argue that the sweet, chewy raisins detract from the rich, smooth chocolate. Others might argue that the combination of flavors and textures is nothing short of divine. We’ll let you be the judge of that.

How to celebrate

If you’re looking to celebrate Chocolate Covered Raisins Day, there are a few tips you should keep in mind. First, make sure you have plenty of chocolate and raisins on hand. You don’t want to run out mid-celebration! Second, consider trying some fun experiments with your chocolate covered raisins. For example, you can drop them in a glass of soda and watch as they float up and down. Or, you can place them on a plate and microwave them to create a melty, gooey treat.

But why stop at just eating them straight out of the box? Why not conduct some fun experiments, like seeing how long it takes for a chocolate covered raisin to dissolve in your mouth, or how many you can fit in your mouth at once? We mean, safely without choking, of course.
Enjoy them as a snack, bake them into cookies or muffins, or even use them as a topping for ice cream. Boil them, bake them, stick them in a stew!
You could host a chocolate covered raisin tasting party, or make your own chocolate covered raisins at home. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could even try incorporating chocolate covered raisins into your favorite recipes.
Whatever you do, please warn other people that there are raisins involved.
Offering food is fine, but don’t push it if it’s declined!

Safety tips:

But wait, before you start chowing down on these little treats, let’s talk about some health concerns. Yes, raisins are a controversial food item, and some people might argue that they are a waste of perfectly good chocolate. However, chocolate covered raisins do have some nutritional value, as they are a good source of fiber and antioxidants.
Be sure to store your chocolate covered raisins in a cool, dry place to prevent them from melting or spoiling. And, if you’re sharing them with others, be sure to label any containers that contain nuts or other potential allergens.
Also, boringly enough, eating too many chocolate covered raisins can lead to weight gain and tooth decay, so it’s important to enjoy them in moderation
Chocolate covered raisins can be a choking hazard, so be sure to chew carefully.
And, be aware that they can be addictive to those who like to raisin the roof,  so don’t blame us if you bring down the house eating them.
And, it’s important to note that raisins can be dangerous to some animals, so be sure to keep them away from any furry friends!

In conclusion

Whether you love them or hate them, Chocolate Covered Raisins Day is a fun and quirky holiday to celebrate with all the cheekiness and humor it deserves.
Don’t be afraid to show your love or dislike for this food group, as long as your humor respects that it’s okay to have preferences even if those preferences are certainly not mutual! Also, don’t forget to brush your teeth either way.
Happy Chocolate Covered Raisins Day!
