Yes, I probably behind the times. But I just bought my first pack of Craisins the other day. OMG they are good! They're a little bit sweet and a little bit tart and a whole lot of delicious!
OM Gosh! I *heart* Craisins! I have a scone recipe somewhere that uses them and it is heavenly! You use real butter in it and they are like something that comes out of a bakery. I really like to eat them just plain too but in cookies or baked goods they are delicious.
Drake, I think they are raisins and cranberries somehow mixed together. I have seen the commercials but I haven`t tried them yet. That would be a good camping snack if you like them.
For me, they tastes better and bigger in size than raisins. With raisins, I just can't stop imagining that they are from goat's crap.
There is another kind of fruit that is like Craisins but have different flavor. Have anyone tasted the dried dates? They are from countries in the Middle East. A friend of mine sent me one of these and I love it.
