6. Double HERSHEY'S KISSES Chocolate Cupcakes
Some combinations are so universally adored that they stand the test of time. Like chocolate cupcakes with smooth vanilla frosting. But these cupcakes feature twice the chocolate with a HERSHEY’S KISSES Chocolate hidden inside and deliciously displayed on top. HERSHEY’S KISSES Milk Chocolates are a classic choice, but you can change it up with caramel, almond or Cookies ‘N’ Creme varieties! Bake Double Chocolate Cupcakes
7. Chocolate-Stuffed Coconut Macaroons
These delightfully chocolatey coconut macaroons are chewy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, thanks to a hidden HERSHEY’S KISSES Milk Chocolate. For a crunchier, chewier shell, toast the coconut before adding it to the cookie batter. For a softer snowy-white exterior, use fresh coconut and skip the toasting step before you bake the cookies. Both ways yield undeniably delicious treats that taste like a flavor vacation for your tastebuds. Try Making Macaroons
