Hershey's Sugar Cookie Kisses - CVS
I don't get the appeal of all this "Sugar cookie" flavored stuff. With a few exceptions, like Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch or Sugar Cookie Pop-Tarts, I think most sugar cookie products are a sham. Especially when it comes to chocolates and candy bars. Brands just make a vanilla version of their product, throw some colorful sprinkles on it, and call it a day.
Will these Kisses be the exception to the rule?
Happy Friday the 13th to you all! I should probably celebrate by watching some Jason movies, but he's never been my favorite. I'm more of a Nightmare on Elm Street kind of girl. So, even though Freddy vs. Jason was pretty much garbage, I think it's what I'll be watching tonight, and along with my bowl of popcorn I'll be chowing down on discounted Halloween Candy, like these Vampire Kisses!
Since I really liked the strawberry-filled Ghirardelli squares that are only available on Valentine's Day, I thought this might be a Hershey equivalent I could snack on in the meantime. I wasn't expecting much at all, just Hershey's quality chocolate kisses with a strawberry center. You know, like they promised.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! (At the stroke of midnight, be sure to run out there and scoop up all the clearance candy!)
To celebrate this day of candy consumption (and love), I've doubled down on the content. I'll be reviewing the candy as well as the recipe for lava cakes included on the bag. Will this post end up being twice as nice? Or double the disappointment?
Cupcake Kisses. Sounds adorable, but what are we really getting here? White chocolate kisses with crunchy vanilla cookie bits inside. How is that at all like a cupcake?
I'm calling Hershey's out on this hyped up nonsense.
Another semi-pointless seasonal post. These are normal milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses in fancy Halloween themed foils, so they don't taste any different than their all-year-round offerings...but these FOILS THO'!
I just couldn't resist them, they're shiny, they've got Halloween Patterns all over them, and the colors look absolutely GORGEOUS in my candy dish. I just couldn't let these ghastly-ghoulish wrappers slip through my foodie fingertips. They NEEDED to be photographed, even if the contents aren't all that special.
After consuming their chocolate-y insides, I find myself smoothing out each foil perfectly flat with a bone folder (sounds spooky, but it's just a smooth plastic tool that helps with folding paper) and I plan on turning a few of these into some fun up-cycled pinback buttons for my Etsy shop and Halloween giveaway!
Tonight, on my way home from work, I'll be stopping at Target to pick up another bag (hopefully on clearance), so if you're like me and you love bargain shopping and spooky sweets, I recommend grabbing a bag or two for yourself! (Christmas is going to have to pry Halloween out of my sticky candy-coated-hands!)

Hershey’s released a bunch of holiday themed kisses this season, candy cane, cherry cordial, caramel, and mint truffle. This is the last seasonal flavor I picked up, the cherry cordial crèmes.
Another minty holiday confection. Hershey’s released a bunch of holiday themed kisses this season, candy cane, cherry, caramel, and mint truffle. I love minty candy (and baking holiday goodies) so I grabbed a few different flavors.
The package feels small in my hands. (I remember the portion being larger as a kid.) This is definitely enough for a batch of cookies. I like the color of the packaging and the overall design is very consistent with the candy cane and pumpkin spiced kisses. (I always like consistency in packaging design.)
I am not a winter person. I don’t like all the holiday madness or the freezing cold temperatures, but something I DO love about the season is all the peppermint flavored goodies. Candy canes, peppermint mocha’s, Andes mints….all of them are delicious!
I’m not sure if these candy cane Kisses are new, but this was the first year I had seen them.
The bag’s layout is the same as the pumpkin spiced Kisses, but with a (obvious) winter theme. I really like how the white background makes the images pop!
