What’s inside this 8 oz bag
Dark Chocolate Coating & Raisin Selection
We coat each raisin in smooth dark chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa than traditional milk chocolate. This creates a more intense chocolate flavor with subtle bitter notes that complement the natural sweetness of the fruit.
Our raisins come from sun-dried California grapes selected for their plumpness and moisture content. The combination creates a satisfying contrast between the firm chocolate shell and the chewy, tender raisin center. Every piece in your Dark Chocolate Raisinets 8 oz standup bag maintains this quality ratio.
Standup Bag Design & Storage
The 8 oz standup pouch features a resealable zipper closure that locks in freshness after opening. This design element prevents the chocolate from absorbing odors or moisture from your pantry while maintaining the raisins’ ideal texture.
Unlike boxes or rigid containers, the flexible standup bag takes up minimal space in your cupboard or drawer. The gusseted bottom allows the bag to stand upright on shelves, making it easy to grab and go. Once opened, simply press out excess air and seal the zipper to preserve quality.

Common Questions About Dark Chocolate Raisinets
Our Dark Chocolate Raisinets use a higher cocoa content chocolate coating that delivers a richer, less sweet taste compared to the milk chocolate original. The dark chocolate has a more pronounced cocoa flavor with subtle bitter notes, while the milk chocolate version is sweeter and creamier.
Both versions use the same quality California raisins, so the fruit component remains consistent. The choice comes down to personal preference for chocolate intensity.
Yes, the resealable zipper closure creates an airtight seal that preserves freshness for several weeks after opening. Press out excess air before sealing to maximize freshness and prevent the chocolate from absorbing pantry odors.
Store the bag in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains the raisins’ soft texture and prevents chocolate bloom.
Yes, this product is formulated without gluten-containing ingredients. However, it is manufactured in a facility that processes other products which may contain gluten.
Always check the packaging label for the most current allergen and ingredient information, as formulations and manufacturing processes can change. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, review the package warnings carefully.
The 8 oz standup bag contains approximately 7 servings based on the standard serving size listed on the nutrition facts panel. Each serving is approximately 1 oz or about 30 pieces.
Actual serving counts may vary depending on personal portion preferences. The resealable design allows you to portion out exactly what you want and save the rest for later.
Dark Chocolate Raisinets work beautifully as a baking ingredient or dessert topping. Many customers mix them into cookie dough, brownie batter, or trail mix, or sprinkle them over ice cream and yogurt.
The chocolate coating holds up well in most baking applications, though it will soften in high heat. For best results in baked goods, fold them in gently at the end of mixing to prevent the chocolate from melting throughout the batter.
Store your Dark Chocolate Raisinets in a cool, dry place between 60-70°F, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A pantry or cupboard works perfectly—avoid storing near the stove, dishwasher, or sunny windows.
If your home runs warm, you can refrigerate the sealed bag, though this may cause slight chocolate bloom (harmless white streaks). Allow refrigerated Raisinets to come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation inside the bag.
The 8 oz standup bag is available both online and at many retail locations including grocery stores, drugstores, and mass retailers. Availability varies by location and store inventory.
Some stores may carry different size formats like theater boxes or single-serve packs instead. Check with your local retailer for their current Raisinets selection, or purchase directly from our online store for guaranteed availability.
