Raisinets Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins
We’ve been combining plump California raisins with rich milk chocolate since 1927, creating the perfect balance of sweet and fruity in every bite. Each Raisinets candy piece features a whole sun-dried raisin enveloped in a smooth chocolate coating that melts in your mouth.
Whether you’re settling in for movie night, packing a lunchbox treat, or need a pick-me-up during your day, Raisinets deliver the satisfying combination of natural fruit sweetness and creamy chocolate. Our theater-box size makes sharing easy, while resealable bags keep your candy fresh between snacking sessions.
What makes Raisinets special
What’s Inside Every Box
Each piece of Raisinets candy starts with a premium sun-ripened California raisin that’s been naturally dried to concentrate its sweet, fruity flavor. We then coat each raisin in our signature milk chocolate made with real cocoa and fresh dairy.
The result is a candy that offers texture contrast—the slight chewiness of the raisin against the smooth snap of the chocolate shell. Our classic theater box contains approximately 185 pieces, giving you plenty to enjoy during a full-length feature film or to share with friends and family.
Packaging Sizes & Storage
We offer Raisinets in multiple formats to fit your snacking needs. Our iconic 3.5 oz theater box remains the most popular choice for moviegoers, featuring the signature yellow and brown packaging that’s been a cinema staple for decades.
For on-the-go snacking or lunchbox treats, our 1.58 oz mini boxes provide perfectly portioned servings. Families and frequent snackers prefer our 11 oz resealable bags, which include a zip closure to keep the chocolate fresh and prevent the raisins from drying out further between servings.
Nutrition & Ingredients
Our Raisinets contain simple, recognizable ingredients: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, cocoa butter, nonfat milk, milkfat, lactose, soy lecithin, natural flavor), raisins, sugar, tapioca dextrin, confectioner’s glaze, and carnauba wax for that glossy finish.
Each 1.58 oz serving contains approximately 190 calories, with the raisins contributing natural sugars and a small amount of dietary fiber. While Raisinets are a candy treat rather than a health food, the raisin centers do provide trace amounts of iron and potassium found naturally in dried grapes.

Common Questions About Raisinets Chocolate Raisins
Yes, Raisinets are gluten-free. Our milk chocolate covered raisins contain no wheat, barley, rye, or other gluten-containing ingredients.
The product is manufactured in facilities that follow allergen control procedures. If you have severe celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, you can enjoy Raisinets with confidence as part of your gluten-free diet.
Store Raisinets in a cool, dry place between 60-70°F, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly or transfer the candy to an airtight container.
Properly stored Raisinets maintain optimal quality for several months in unopened packages. After opening, consume within three weeks for best texture. Avoid refrigeration, as temperature changes can cause chocolate bloom (harmless white streaks) and affect texture.
We offer several size options to fit different needs. The classic theater box is 3.5 oz, perfect for movies and sharing. Mini boxes at 1.58 oz work great for portion-controlled snacking and lunch boxes.
For families and frequent snackers, we offer resealable bags in 8 oz and 11 oz sizes. King size boxes at 5 oz provide extra candy for extended viewing sessions. Snack-size individual 1 oz bags are also available in multi-packs.
Raisinets are suitable for lacto-vegetarians but not for vegans. The milk chocolate coating contains dairy ingredients including nonfat milk, milkfat, and lactose.
The candy is kosher dairy certified. The confectioner’s glaze used for shine is food-grade and considered acceptable in most vegetarian diets. If you follow a strict vegan diet, you’ll need to look for dairy-free chocolate-covered raisin alternatives.
Absolutely! Raisinets work wonderfully in cookies, brownies, and bar recipes. Fold them into batter just before baking, or press them onto cookie tops before the oven.
The chocolate coating will soften and may partially melt during baking, creating pockets of chocolate throughout your treats. They also make excellent toppings for ice cream, yogurt parfaits, and decorated cakes. Some people chop them coarsely to distribute the chocolate-raisin flavor more evenly in baked goods.
Raisinets themselves do not contain nuts or peanuts in the ingredients list. However, they are manufactured in facilities that also process peanuts and tree nuts.
If you have severe nut allergies, be aware of potential cross-contact risk. The packaging includes allergen statements to help you make informed decisions. Always check the specific package label, as manufacturing practices can change.
A 1.58 oz serving (approximately one mini box) contains about 190 calories. The theater box at 3.5 oz contains approximately 420 calories for the full package.
The calories come from both the milk chocolate coating and the natural sugars in the raisins. Each serving provides small amounts of dietary fiber and iron from the dried grapes. Nutritional information is printed on every package for precise serving-size calculations.
