Raisinets chocolate covered raisins were first introduced by a family-owned business in 1927, the Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company of Philadelphia. Raisinets are sun-ripened, plump, juicy California raisins drenched in pure, creamy Nestlé Milk Chocolate and dark chocolate. They are a natural source of fruit antioxidants, and contain 30% less fat than the leading chocolate brands. Raisinets are made with a special type of grape and proudly made in the USA! Only one kind is chosen to become a Raisinet, Thompson Seedless grapes! All are grown and harvested in California’s Central Valley. If you lined-up the amount of Raisinets produced in one year end-to-end, the length would go around the earth 2.5 times! Every man, woman and child in the United States would receive 17 Raisinets if the amount made in a year was shared with all. That’s a handful of delicious goodness! Raisinets are gluten-free! Absolutely!
