"coconut kisses" news and stories

Hershey's has been doing well with their filled Hershey's Kisses. Both the limited edition and non-limited edition candies have been well received and have their loyal fans. To the list that includes peanut butter kisses, dulce de leche kisses, cherry kisses and (my personal favorite) caramel kisses, we can now add another flavor: coconut creme.

The new Kisses are limited edition and feature a classic milk chocolate kiss with a coconut filling. They were released for the summer, so it is likely that they'll only be around for another month or two. The filling tastes much like a coconut macaroon: moist, very strongly flavored, sweet and slightly grainy from what appears to be real coconut bits. To put it bluntly, they are delicious, especially if you are a coconut fan. The combination of chocolate and coconut is great and the flavors and textures play off one another beautifully. I don't know that I could eat a lot of them at one time, but the chocolate to coconut ratio seems much more balanced - and more appealing - than a larger bar, such as Mounds.
