\"Hot<\/p>\n

What are Hot Cocoa Hershey’s Kisses?<\/h3>\n

Since real kisses are so hard to come by these days, I figured I\u2019d continue my hot cocoa kick with Hot Cocoa Hershey\u2019s Kisses that feature milk chocolate with marshmallow creme.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna start with a bit of a prediction \u2013 I think most people will enjoy these more than I do. That being said, I do like them. I just thought I\u2019d love them.<\/p>\n

The Kiss casing is standard Hershey\u2019s fare \u2013 or \u201cfair\u201d depending on your thoughts of Hershey\u2019s chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

The marshmallow cr\u00e8me center is the star of the show, but like <\/a>Hot Cocoa M&M\u2019s, it doesn\u2019t necessarily scream \u201cmarshmallow!\u201d<\/p>\n

The first taste of marshmallow that hits reminded me of a standard cereal marbit, but that quickly got lost in the chocolate.<\/p>\n

I kept being reminded of a \u201cbrownie batter\u201d flavor as I was eating them, but I\u2019m confused as to why a regular Kiss and marshmallow flavored cr\u00e8me would give me that impression. Nevertheless, that\u2019s what I kept tasting.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

I dug the texture of these Kisses.<\/p>\n

The cr\u00e8me is softer than usual and quickly melts in your mouth, almost giving you a hot cocoa marshmallow sensation. I\u2019d say the texture is somewhere between the outer chocolate, and the type of marshmallow you\u2019d get in a Russell Stover chocolate marshmallow Santa.<\/p>\n

I still couldn\u2019t get past that brownie batter taste. To borrow a poker term, these were a \u201clittle too rich for my blood.\u201d I let three melt in my mouth and wanted to chug a bottle of water.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Like I said, you\u2019re gonna like these more than I did. Still, the center and the texture make Hot Cocoa Hershey’s Kisses worth picking up. <\/p>\n

Actually, as I was eating these, I kept thinking of one thing \u2013 Hershey’s Hugs<\/a>. These were kinda like inferior Hugs. Do Hugs still exist? I miss Hugs \u2013 both the candy and the warm embrace. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m very lonely.<\/p>\n
