Nestle introduces new Nestle Cranberry Raisinets

GLENDALE, Calif. Nestle announces the expansion of its delicious chocolate-covered Raisinets line with the addition of new Nestle Cranberry Raisinets.

The classic snack has been an ideal on-the-go treat for more than 80 years with its unique combination of indulgent chocolate and refreshing burst of natural fruit antioxidants.

"Nestle Raisinets has been a 'win-win' snack of choice for decades delivering the wholesome goodness of dried fruit and the creamy, one-of-a-kind taste of Nestle Milk Chocolate," said Tricia Bowles, spokesperson, Nestle Confections & Snacks. "Today, we are proud to introduce a new fruit to the brand for the very first time."

In addition to the benefits of natural fruit antioxidants, Cranberry Raisinets have 30% less fat than the leading chocolate brands and provide half a serving of real fruit in every one-fourth of a cup, the company said.

Cranberry Raisinets will be available nationwide beginning this month in two convenient sizes, a resealable 5.5-oz. stand-up bag, as well as a single serve 100 calorie pack.
