As a kid, I liked chocolate covered raisins. Even better was “bridge mix” which was chocolate covered everything.

Good old raisinets.

The only thing better than raisinets is eating raisinets while piloting a vintage F4 Phantom fighter plane, I imagine.

The pilots always came back looking like they’d done a full days work. I’m not sure a bunch of melted chocolate would have helped.

Make sure you get the raisins in dark chocolate.

Milk chocolate not as healthy.

I'm also partial to nuts like almonds or cashews covered in dark chocolate.

I don’t think one is permitted to watch a movie without a big box of Raisinetes.

Cheaper and easy to make at home. I melt milk chocolate chips and dump in a box of raisins. You get clusters instead of individual raisins, but that’s no problem.

We all know he took the raisins. He'll come in, we'll talk about it; we'll have a few laughs. Oh, he'll be comfortable.
