Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
It looks like Hershey's has just rolled out a new limited edition chocolate for the upcoming Christmas season. Before I took a good look at the package, I momentarily thought that the Candy Cane Mint Kisses might be tiny mints that were shaped like Kisses, but it turns out that they are a white chocolate-based treat. The white kisses are flavored with mint and have red stripes on the outside. Embedded in the chocolate are tiny red nonpareils, which add a tiny crunch to the candy and look vaguely like bits of candy cane, though they actually have no discernible flavor of their own. The chocolate is very smooth and the mint is not so overwhelming that it would stop you from reaching for a second, but the Kisses seem to be slightly richer than average. Overall, these seem like a good holiday candy option to put out in a candy dish for occasional treat, but they're not so good that I would want to have a bowl all to myself. If they ever decide to put bits of candy cane in them, however, I might have to reconsider.

I got a couple of little serving size bags at the walgreen checkout a couple weeks ago(they were 2/$1.00 or .59each) I must say they were pretty good, much better than some of kiss flavors. Like the story said the mint isnt overpowering. I think they did a good job at it. Too bad they couldnt do this good of a job with the cherry chocolate ones. I love cherry chocolate but their creation sucked. Too bad I cant find the andes cherry chocolate...they were the only decent ones.

11-17-2006 @8:52PM Vicky said... I haven't seen these at the store yet. Hopefully they will contain better quality ingredients than the usual hydrogenated corn syrup that is so disgustingly (and dangerously) prevalent in American candy nowadays......
Reply
11-17-2006 @8:52PM Ayana said... They are delicious. Especially if you eat one and then eat a chocolate covered cherry one next. And don't forget about the peanut butter ones. OOOOhhh, I love chocolate.

Reply
11-17-2006 @9:26PM Dee said... The coconut kisses are the best; however, difficult to find, as are the cherry kisses and mint kisses... also in limited production...Hershey's needs to make them more readily available!

11-17-2006 @9:29PM Mary Wright said... Cant wait to try your new kisses. i love cho and i really love your kisses.

1-02-2007 @12:53AM Stephanie said... I've already bought two bags, and between myself and my husband, we've devoured them. So much for the intention of putting them in a candy dish for guests! They are delicious, and I like dropping them in a mug of hot chocolate to give it a nice minty taste. :):)
Reply
11-17-2006 @9:34PM Cheryl said... Wondering what the connection is between peanut butter and Hersheys kisses.
Reply
11-17-2006 @9:35PM Ginny said... They also have two other new flavors: dark chocolate filled with strawberry, and dark chocolate filled with orange.
