A Kiss Is Not Just A Kiss

Giess what classic has been reinventing itself? Not no th e sacred Oreo although that would be a pretty good guess. It's the Hershey's Kiss.All of a sudden you can now get it in "flavors"!

Hershey's Kisses were born in 1907 and got their name possibly from the sound of the chocolate being extruded from the machine that made them. Up until recently they were just solid milk chocolate. Now they come in solid dark, mixed with white (the Hugs)) or with cherry , peanut butter or truffle filling. As much as I like the original I really love the cherry and peanut butter. The cherry is reminiscent of the Cella's brand of chocolate covered cherries and the peanut butter is a notch above Reese's Cups (sorry Reese's).
There are also cookie Kisses which are kiss shaped cookies either filled with chips or sprinkles. These are OK.

What I just found out is that you can special order the kisses with different tags.Getting hitched? Then order the ones with the JUST MARRIED tags sticking out of them. Having a baby? You can get pink or blue foil wrapped ones with the appropriate messages. There are even birthday , congratulation and thank you kisses. These would be th e perfect party table treat at a shower or party. You can only order these from Hershey's.com/kisses.

Well I guess Casablanca's them song isn't true. A kiss isn't just a kiss anymore. It's something more. A special candy that' just reinvented itself
