National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day

California Raisins

If you were watching TV in the mid-80s, you may remember the California Raisins. These bluesy, Claymation raisins singing “Heard it Through the Grapevine” captured the nation’s attention. Soon there were characters, records, and spin off television specials featuring the raisins with VHS and DVD to follow.  March 24 is the day we celebrate raisins covered in chocolate. It’s a great day to kick back, grab a box of Raisinets, a brand of chocolate covered raisins dating from 1927, put in a DVD and sing along with the California Raisins.

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Psalm 95:1
