OATMEAL CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISIN COOKIES: National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day

I like oatmeal cookies, and I usually add chocolate chips rather than raisins, but this recipe for Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Covered Raisin Cookies from Gold Medal combines the best of both. It's perfect for Chocolate Covered Raisins Day! I use Raisinets!
