A Brief History:
Origination: Yesterday was National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day, a day that celebrates both chocolate and raisins, together in one treat. Raisinets chocolate covered raisins were first introduced by a family-owned business in 1927, the Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company of Philadelphia. The brand was sold over the years and in 1984, Nestlé acquired then owner Ward–Johnston, makers of Raisinets, Goobers, Chunky, Sno-Caps, Bit-O-Honey and Oh Henry!

The Last Few Centuries: In the last few centuries, making of chocolate covered raisins has evolved into an industry that involves employment opportunities, the building of factories, holidays based off the industry, and a lot of sweet things! Unfortunately it does keep dentists in business as well, as because on the downside, the sugar is a direct decay factor to tooth enamel and also a breeding ground for bacteria that eventually causes plaque and makes the teeth come from the whiteness that teeth need to be considered “brilliant”.

Celebrated: March 24th every year!
