10 Amazing Recipes Using Hershey Kisses
Hershey’s Kisses are truly a chocolate classic. While they carry their own very particular look, taste, flavor and familiarity, they have also been used time and time again as a recipe ingredient. Why the heck not? They’re basically just giant chocolate chips, right? In more recent years, the Hershey brand has taken the classic kiss and made umpteen flavors of them from pumpkin spice to candy cane, cookies ‘n cream and caramel filled (and a whole lot in-between) giving truly endless possibilities for baking with them. These recipes all use Hershey’s Kisses in them, and wouldn’t be the same without them. So go grab a bag at the store, and get unwrapping your latest and greatest baked up delight.
