If this is a continuing problem can't you just chop them?

I'm ok with the raisins when they're still chewy. And I'm not talking about the goods I bake - I'm talking about the mushy baked goods I get in other places.

Chocolate raisins own, but in everything chocolate with raisins in it they inscrutably always make it rum raisins, which suck.

Not always and in any case just mixing some raisins into molten chocolate and then flattening the mixture on a baking sheet is dead easy.

I'm convinced the origin of the raisin hater is an uncareful child who scarfed down an oatmeal raisin cookie expecting chocolate chip, and was surprised and (incorrectly) disappointed.

They're just sweet. I don't get what the problem is.

I’ve never had an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, so they seem foreign to me; raisins just make more sense.

No, it's very disappointing as a child when you're expecting trail mix full of m&m's and stuff and you literally get good old raisins and peanuts.

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

My problem with raisins is that they just have a terrible texture and everything that traditionally has them is better without them, though the fact that they so easily camouflage as chocolate chips in cookies didn't help as a child.

I am also a general dried fruit hater, however.

say this. it's such an iconic flavor and texture profile.

I had the idea of making trail mix ice cream, just vanilla with bits of trail mix throughout. No idea if it would actually work or be tasty to most people, but I think I would enjoy it.

Now I want to try Smarties and M&Ms side by side, because the only real difference I can tell is that orange Smarties have orange chocolate inside. But it's been years since I had any so maybe it's an obvious difference.

the reason i think i personally hate raisins is because when i was a dumb little kid i picked up a live fly and put it in my mouth because i thought it was a raisin but it wasn't

Raisins are very dependent on what they’re being used for.

Craisins/dried cranberries - now you’re cooking. I’ll gently caress up craisins plain.

At least in Australia, Smarties are slightly larger but much cheaper chocolate. The candy shells are thinner and the colouring bleeds all over your fingers while you're eating them. M&Ms ad campaign of 'melts in your mouth, not in your hands' always felt like it was calling out Smarties specifically.

UK versions of things like Milky Ways are different to the Aus versions (and better. I assume the Aus ones have a different recipe to make them more heat tolerant and that fucks them up a bit), so I wonder if Smarties are also different?

Butterfingers make up for about 99.9% of the other, terrible cheap American sweets (like everyone else , I blame hersheys and their chezp barfy chocolate.).
Butterfingers are uniquely American and 1000% amazing.
