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.Candy Cane Kisses from Hershey's

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......

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.

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!

Wondering what the connection is between peanut butter and Hersheys kisses.

They also have two other new flavors: dark chocolate filled with strawberry, and dark chocolate filled with orange.

What's all the hoo-hah abbout chocolate anyway? I don't like chocolate, especially cheap chocolate like Hershey's and Nestle's. I would much rather have a nice chewy caramel.
