The house that gave out Hershey's Kisses on Halloween was inevitably considered to be the "cheap" house, the one that wouldn't spend the extra dollar to upgrade from the tiny chocolates to miniature candy bars. As Hershey's developed lots of tasty new varieties, the prospect of getting Kisses began to seem a little more palatable to candy-hungry kids. Hershey's new Costume Kisses are something that just about any chocolate-lover (kid or not) would want to get for Halloween. Sold in sets of two, the chocolates are decorated by hand and packed up in an attractive gift box.
At the moment, they only appear to be available on the online Hershey's store and, because they are hand-crafted, they might not make it into retail stores. They're still plenty of time to order them and, though you might want to keep them for yourself, think how popular you'll be with the neighborhood kids if you gave these away to trick-or-treaters!

For one thing, I've always preferred Hershey's kisses to a full-blown chocolate bar, but also, in my experience, people giving out Hershey's kisses always seemed to give you a nice little bag filled with them. At least, that's what I remember ...

My Mom gave lots of them & during the coal miner's strikes or steel worker's strikes, canned goods, fruits, potatoes were sent via the sacks to the children's houses. Their children always got the biggest handful of kisses.As kids, we would trade 2 "smarties" for 1 H. kiss.

I would save the toys from kids meals at fast food places and give them out instead of candy. I would even let the kids pick out the toy they wanted. Most of the little kids loved getting a prize instead of candy! Besides, the younger kids couldn't eat the candy anyway, the parents just wanted to show off their costumes.

It takes a little patience to pour just enough melted white chocolate over the kiss so it doesn't completely cover the whole candy or melt it. I made two dozen ghosts so far! I used brown chocolate sprinkles for the eyes! MUCH cheaper than buying them online, and they are HOME MADE (almost!) and look adorable! Thanks for the idea! Try this yourself at home! ~ Pauline
