Easy Oatmeal Raisinets® Cookies

This is an easy cookie recipe for Oatmeal Raisinets® Cookies - a nice twist to more traditional oatmeal cookies with raisins.

It's probably safe to say that your grandmother never made cookies using these chocolate covered raisins!

But what a great idea to incorporate candy into this recipe.

They are perfect anytime and especially when your kids have leftover candy from trick-or-treating.

Raisinets® made their debut in 1927 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Their popular companion, Goobers®, came out two years earlier in 1925.

The popular brand of candy was acquired by Nestlé in 1984.

You may also find chocolate covered raisins by Sun-Maid - but everybody knows Raisinets® - "They're like chocolate covered sunshine!"./p>

If traveling in the UK, you may find a similar chocolate coated raisin candy under the name Poppets, or Paynes Poppets.

If you're not a fan of raisins, you might want to try this recipe but substitute Cranberry Raisinets® instead, we haven't tried this yet, but we want to!

Or, instead of milk chocolate, try the dark chocolate Raisinets® for a little variety - or any combination would be fun to experiment with.

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."

Thanks,
