Chocolate covered raisins with dark chocolate have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. Raisins were a prized ingredient in the Middle East, while chocolate was revered by the Aztecs and Mayans in Mesoamerica. The combination of these two ingredients came together in the 1920s when the Blumenthal Brothers Chocolate Company introduced the first chocolate-covered raisins. Today, this delectable treat is enjoyed worldwide and is a popular snack at movie theaters and confectionery shops. Chefs and confectioners have perfected the art of coating plump raisins with luscious dark chocolate, creating a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors. For the best version of this dish, look for high-quality dark chocolate and plump, juicy raisins. Alternatively, some chefs add a touch of sea salt to enhance the flavor profile, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Whether enjoyed as a standalone snack or as a topping for desserts, chocolate-covered raisins with dark chocolate continue to captivate taste buds with their irresistible combination of flavors.
