We didn’t get a chance to share this recipe for making hershey kiss cookies before the holidays but figured better late than never! As I gather all of the baking supplies needed for the holidays, hershey kisses are always at the top of my list. Not only to enjoy as a fix for my chocolate cravings but to make these sweet hershey kisses cookies.

It’s as if the chocolate kisses are wrapped inside a warm hug! If these cookies could talk, I’m sure they would say “I love you”.

In fact, I’ve even made candy jars by repurposing empty glass jars to hold my kisses. These LIVE, LOVE and LAUGH candy jars as well as these painted Christmas jars and I can’t forget about these sweetheart gift jars are just a few of the jars I’ve made…I told you I like these choclates!
