As a food blogger, I get a lot of different food products delivered to the house. My cat is happy because there’s a new box to play or sit in and sometimes, my kids even get excited. If there was ever a time when my kids were shouting with excitement, it was when my big box of HERSHEY’S KISSES arrived.
My kids, of course, love HERSHEY’S KISSES and all chocolate for that matter, but when they were helping me open the box and we discovered these brand new HERSHEY’S KISSES we had never seen before, we immediately ripped open a bag to try the new HERSHEY’S KISSES Sugar Cookie Candies! They are so yummy!!!
HERSHEY’S KISSES Sugar Cookie Candies
The HERSHEY’S KISSES Cookies ‘n’ Creme candies are described as having “sugar cookie flavored white creme” with green and red cookie pieces throughout. Sugar cookie pieces in HERSHEY’S KISSES? Brilliant! Each piece is wrapped in the classic metallic foil adorned with Christmas trees, stars and bells. They are absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to fill my kids’ stockings with these! Stock up now while you can!
