Questions about Chocolate raisin
How do you make chocolate raisins at home?
Pat the raisins completely dry, dip them in melted chocolate with a fork, and let the excess drip off. Set them on baking paper and chill until firm; damp raisins can make the chocolate seize or stop it setting smoothly.
How should you store chocolate raisins?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight. In hot weather, refrigerate them and let the closed container come to room temperature before opening, so condensation does not form on the chocolate.
Can you use chocolate raisins in cookies or flapjacks?
Yes. Fold them into cookie dough or flapjack mixture near the end of mixing, then bake as usual; the coating will soften and may melt into the bake. For distinct chocolate pieces, press them on after baking while the surface is still warm.
What goes well with chocolate raisins?
Mix them with nuts and seeds for a sweet-and-crunchy snack, or scatter a few over porridge, yoghurt or ice cream. Their sweetness also works with salty popcorn or pretzels.
Are chocolate raisins safe for dogs?
No. Keep them away from dogs: both chocolate and raisins can be dangerous to them, and even a small amount may require urgent veterinary advice.
Are chocolate raisins more filling than plain raisins?
Plain raisins have more fibre: 9.7 g per 100 g, compared with 6.3 g in chocolate raisins. The chocolate coating adds fat and sweetness, so the two make rather different snacks.
How do chocolate raisins compare with milk chocolate-coated raisins?
Milk chocolate-coated raisins contain 429 kcal and 17.3 g fat per 100 g, compared with 395 kcal and 14 g fat in chocolate raisins.
