Default Using Craisins in a Tripel (aka Crippel)

I'm brewing a partial extract tripel soon and I was thinking of adding some craisins to the secondary. Does anyone have any experience doing this, if so how much did you use? would you use more?

thank you

I'm not going to say craisins are a bad idea all together, but I wouldn't let them touch my tripel.

I think that anything like is could be better used individually. If you're gonna do this then add raisins and cranberries. That way you can mix them individually instead of as one solid flavor.

Personally, I'd think about some of the other malts that can give you a raisin/fig character like special B or dark crystals instead of fruit.
