I was intrested in making white chocolate covered raisins. Do you think substituting white chocolate for reg. chocolate within the recipe will be ok?

Thanks Diana for these great looking recipes. I will certainly try at least one of them and will let you know what happens. Sounds like it would be cheaper and less trouble to just go out and buy a bag!! LOL I just kinda wanted to try it. Thanks Again, Pat

Hi Girlmed, I found 3 recipes that are for Chocolate Covered Raisins (or clusters), but I think you're right, the raisins may tend to stick together, but I guess if you dipped them individually, it would take forever! Chocolate-Covered Raisin Clusters INGREDIENTS 1 package (6 ounces) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips 3 tablespoons light corn syrup 1 tablespoon water 1-1/2 cups raisins Instructions: Combine first three ingredients and place over hot (not boiling) water until chocolate melts, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in raisins, coating well. With teaspoon, drop in small clusters onto waxed paper. Chill until firm. Makes 2 1/2 dozen clusters Chocolate Covered Raisins If you need a chocolate fix, but are short on time, give these a try! They do need to chill, but take just a few minutes to prepare. And they're delicious! Ingredients: 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz) 1/4 cup dark corn syrup 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups raisins Ingredients: Combine chocolate chips and corn syrup in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts, stiring constantly. (Or melt in microwave at 50% power.) Remove from heat, and stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and raisins. Drop by half-teaspoonfuls onto wax paper; chill. Store in refrigerator. Makes about 5-1/2 dozen candies. Chocolate Dipped Raisins Ingredients: 12 oz. raisins 7 oz. Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar, melted 1 cup semisweet chocolate discs, melted Instructions: In a saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate bar and disks. Set saucepan in hot water to maintain dipping consistency. Dip several raisins at a time in chocolate. Place in paper candy cup. Repeat with remaining chocolate and raisins. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 10 minutes. Store covered in refrigerator. Please let me know if you tried any of these recipes, and if so, how they turned out.
Sincerely, Diana Diana's Desserts

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make chocolate covered raisins. I was thinking maybe like peanut butter balls, but wouldn't it be hard to keep the raisins from all sticking together? Anyone with any ideas please post. Thanks much! Pat Text
