Nestle Raisinets Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins
We’ve been making Nestle Raisinets the same way since 1927—coating plump, sun-ripened California raisins in smooth milk chocolate for a timeless treat that balances sweet and fruity in every bite. Our raisins are selected for size and sweetness, then tumbled in rich milk chocolate until they’re perfectly coated.
Whether you’re looking for a movie theater classic, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a gluten-free snack to share, Raisinets deliver the nostalgia and quality you expect from a Nestle brand. Each piece offers a satisfying crunch followed by the chewy sweetness of real California raisins.
What makes Raisinets special
Premium Ingredients & Chocolate Quality
We start with premium California raisins chosen for their natural sweetness and plump texture. Each raisin is carefully inspected to ensure consistent quality before it enters our chocolate coating process.
Our milk chocolate coating uses Nestle’s time-tested recipe—combining cocoa, milk, and sugar in precise proportions to create the smooth, creamy chocolate that generations have loved. The chocolate-to-raisin ratio is calibrated to give you just enough sweetness without overwhelming the natural fruit flavor.
Packaging Sizes & Serving Suggestions
Nestle Raisinets are available in multiple formats to suit any occasion. Our 3.5 oz theater boxes deliver the authentic movie-watching experience, while 11 oz stand-up bags are ideal for sharing at parties or keeping in your pantry.
Fun-size packs work perfectly for lunchboxes, portion control, or handing out at events. Each package features a resealable closure on larger formats to maintain freshness between snacking sessions.
Storage & Freshness Guidelines
Store your nestle raisinets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve chocolate quality and prevent melting. Ideal storage temperature is between 60-70°F.
If you live in a warm climate or purchase during summer months, consider refrigerating your Raisinets to maintain their shape and texture. Let refrigerated pieces come to room temperature for 5-10 minutes before eating to experience the full chocolate flavor profile.

Store your Raisinets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at temperatures between 60-70°F. This prevents the chocolate from melting or developing bloom (white spots).
For longer-term storage or in warm climates, refrigeration works well—just let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before eating to restore the chocolate’s flavor profile. Keep opened packages in an airtight container or use the resealable closure on larger bags.
Nestle Raisinets contain milk and soy ingredients. They are manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts and peanuts, which means cross-contact is possible.
If you have severe allergies to these ingredients, please review the allergen statement on your specific package before consuming. Our products are gluten-free but are not suitable for those with dairy allergies.
Absolutely! Nestle Raisinets work wonderfully in cookies, brownies, and trail mixes. They add bursts of chocolate and fruit flavor to baked goods without the mess of loose chocolate chips and raisins.
Many customers also use them as ice cream toppings, yogurt mix-ins, or decoration for cakes. For baking, add Raisinets during the final minutes to prevent excessive melting, or fold them into batter just before pouring into pans.
We use premium California raisins selected for size and sweetness, combined with Nestle’s proprietary milk chocolate recipe perfected since 1927. Our tumbling process ensures even chocolate coverage without clumping.
Unlike some competitors, we don’t use high-fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. The chocolate-to-raisin ratio is carefully calibrated to balance sweetness with the natural fruit flavor, creating the distinctive taste that’s made Raisinets an American classic for nearly a century.
Yes, Nestle Raisinets are suitable for vegetarians as they contain no meat, poultry, or fish ingredients. The primary ingredients are raisins, sugar, chocolate, and milk.
However, they are not vegan due to the milk content in our chocolate coating. If you follow a plant-based diet, our dark chocolate varieties may use dairy-free formulations—check the specific product label for ingredient details.
