   Awww, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy these.  I love them.  I didn’t notice any greasiness, though, that would have probably put me off, too.

   I was tempted to buy these before I read your review. Now I think I’ll pass. Greasy Kisses, indeed!
   I keep hoping for the day that they come out with Mexican Chocolate Kisses!

   I agree entirely: I think the coconut center tastes just like tanning oil smells :D I bought a bag a month ago or more, and it’s still mostly full. A pale comparison to Almond Joy…

   Speaking of which: Did you get a chance to try the limited edition Toasted Coconut Almond Joy when they were out? I saw them once and then never again—I completely regret not buying one

   I agree….I really wanted to like these when they came out last year sometime, but they were bad. I’d much more enjoy a toasted coconut Kiss instead.

   I agree these aren’t as great as they could be.  The toasted coconut Almond Joy is much better but the only place I ever found those was Big Lots.  As for Mexican Chocolate Kisses, WHY hasn’t anyone thought of this before?  Thanks, Breda,now I’ll think of nothing else.

   I thought the outside texture was weird too, but I love these. Mexican Chocolate would be an awesome limted edition, as would white chocolate macadamia. Have they ever done a cookies and cream kiss?

   Anita & Janelle - I did pick up the Toasted Coconut Almond Joy last year on vacation (but didn’t do a full review). I really liked it, actually much better than a regular Almond Joy. You can still order them online:

   http://www.candywarehouse.com/toastedcoconut.html

   Julilla - I still liked them, just didn’t love them. Folks are still eating them out of the dish on my desk and I have a few now and then.

   Breda - oh, that would be divine. I know they had Dulce de Leche at one time, but I never got to try them.

   Kelly - hmm, cookies & creme! They already make the bar and sometimes the nuggets, how hard would it be to do the Kisses?

   Kate - I suppose if it was just like an Almond Joy I’d complain that it was just like an Almond Joy ... they went and did something different and, well, I guess we know why Almond Joys are so enduring.

   Best Kisses I have ever tasted.  Sorry they are only on sale for a limited time.

   I LOVE the coconut kisses!!  I am a MAJOR Reese’s fan…peanut butter and chocolate what could be better.  I am NOT a fan of the peanut butter kisses, but LOVE the coconut ones!  I HOPE they bring these back to buy any time instead of just limited edition.

    I could just copy comment # 9 from Lisa on 4/26, I’ve always loved Reece’s, still do, what a mix! But the coconut, blew my mind, I’ve shared them with friends and they’re all asking if I can find more….!  PLEASE, PLEASE, bring them back!

    LOVE THE COCONUT KISSES…but now i cant find them anywhere :(  where can i get some more bags?

    I ate about 8 of these then promptly threw out the bag.  When texture is as important to you as taste (and I couldn’t taste any coconut through cheapy chocolate) this was absolutely killer and revolting with no redeeming qualities.  The center of mine could only be described as soupy, crunchy (from sugar crystals), with the occasional bit of coconut meat.  Perhaps I got a bad bag, but all 8 were the same consistency. 
    I would never /ever,/ eat these things again.

    I love these Kisses. They remind me of Girl Scout Samoa cookies. I also wanted to say that I saw Cookies ‘n Cream Kisses the other day. I think it was at Wal-Mart. I didn’t buy any, but I can’t wait to try them.

    the coconut kisses where a limited time thing so far? i called and they said depending how popular they are they might make them a full time thing the more people that call the better our chances of making them full time so if everyone who reads this calls them at 1-800-468-1714 and press 0 for costomer service, tell them you love them and want to see more of them

    I can’t stop eating the coconut kisses. I think they’re fantastic! The chocolate is so much creamier than the original (chalky!) kisses. I didn’t think they were greasy at all…

    Lis & Lucy - you’re commenting on a review from two years ago. I did taste this year’s version and agree, they’re not greasy any longer.

    Easter 2012! I love these kisses…my favorite by far! They are not one bit greasy. The chocolate goes perfectly with the coconut creme inside! This is the first year I have ever seen them and will be craving them until they are available again!! I hope I do not have to wait a year! My favorite candy ever!!!

    It is 2012 and after reading your review, I had to try. Greasy-not at all. They must have changed the way they were made from when you reviewed them, but we all have different tastes. These were actually very good and I really like the little flakes of coconut inside of the kisses.  Thanks for your review!

    Thea are amazingly delicious but we don’t get them in Gernmany sadly ./:

    Please bring them back!  They are an ingredient for a family tradition recipe and the regular kisses just don’t do them justice. Why were they discontinued???
