Candy Kisses

Before you inquire...no, no one is giving me any money to endorse any products.

Earlier today when I was in the drugstore I almost shrieked in a fit of joy when I spied Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses. They're back, baby!! 

Now, I'm not really a huge fan of white chocolate, (I'm more of a dark chocolate fiend. Give me 70%+ cocoa, and I'm a happy girl. Think Lindt, or some damn fine Jacques Torres dark, smooth chocolate, or one of my new faves my brother brought back from Paris, Cote d'Or's, Noir Noix de Pecan) but last year Santa left me a tiny bag of Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses in my stocking. I was hesitant at first...but then tried one. Nice, somewhat buttery (one can really taste the cocoa butter) flavor with a hint of mint and little bits of crunchy candy cane (actually, I don't think it's really candy cane, more "candy cane-like"). I was sold. Then I found out that the kisses were limited edition (gasp!) and are only available around X-mas. Well...they're back. Run out and buy some. Go. Now.
