Góa - Dark Chocolate Raisins

Plump California raisins panned in Icelandic dark chocolate. The shell is smooth and properly dark, so the first taste is cocoa; then the raisin comes through soft and sweet, and the two even out. More-ish in the way only chocolate raisins are — one handful becomes the box.

Icelanders call these Góu rúsínur, or simply súkkulaðirúsínur, and they come from Góa, the confectioner in Garðabær — the next town over from our warehouse. There's a milk-chocolate version too if you prefer them sweeter.

Good to know: 400 g box · California raisins, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, soya lecithin, vanillin, thickener (E414), palm fat, acid (E330), preservative (E202) · contains soya; may contain traces of hazelnuts and almonds — always check the box · keep cool and dry.

How people buy it: The Icelandic move is to mix them with salted peanuts for a sweet-and-salty hiking snack — real fuel for a long walk. Families order 5 or 10 boxes at a time (that's why those options exist).
