Pucker up.

This year Hershey’s Kisses turns 105, meaning that the first Kiss was tried by someone who probably is not alive anymore.

Just about everyone in the U.S. has tried a Hershey’s Kiss. They are little drops of chocolate. Nothing more, nothing less. Wrapped in tinfoil with a little tag of paper to help unfold it. People use them in desserts, as desserts, or just for munching by themselves. I was surprised to find out that the favored treat was quite so old. They look so young and fresh coming out of their tinfoil wrapping. So to help in celebrating a long life, I’m going to show you some of the wonderful and tasty ways that this tiny drop of chocolate has helped inspire bakers and artists alike. Enjoy!
