Coconut Kisses

I am not a fan of the current "fixing what ain't broke" trend among candy makers. You know, how they'll take a classic treat that we all love and try to adjust the flavors to make it new and exciting to consumers, like covering Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in white chocolate, instead of the traditional darker variety. Hel-lo, peanut butter and white chocolate?? Puh-lease. The original is a classic for a reason!! Anyway, even though past experience has taught me that messing with classic candy doesn't generally work well (although I do like nontraditional baked goods), I couldn't resist buying these Coconut Crème Kisses. I know a lot of people don't like coconut, something about the texture, blah, blah, blah, but I LOVE the white stuff, so I just had to try these!! I snatched them up as soon as they went on sale and I was not disappointed! They are sooo good! Of course, now I'm itching to try all the flavored kisses. Any recommendations?

For some reason, Hershey's has only a limited selection of Kisses on their Web site. To check out the flavors that they feel are worthy of their Web Site, click here.

Yaya Michigan! Where are you living? I am from the Southeast. The kisses sound divine. I used to hate coconut but now I love it (especially in a good curry). Sadly I don't find much Hershey's chocolate over here so I will have to wait until I return to the states but now I know to keep an eye out for it!

I will have to look for these. Coconut Hershey kisses sound great.

They are yummy. On the negative side, I think you can only get them around Easter. Bummer!

I hear what you're saying! But sometimes, they do come up with flavours that really work!

Yeah, that's true. I'm just negative about the whole thing because it seems like I'm often disappointed with the new versions. Well, not always. The coconut kisses were awesome!
