Candy Blog Talk

Wow, they’re in LA now too Cybele? Lucky! So sweet of both of you to offer to trade aside from the weather, I completely understand. It’s still mid 70’s-80 here so it’s right on the borderline for safe chocolate shipping.

Maybe I’ll check again tomorrow. Ha ha.

Whoo hoo! I went to target today and found them, yay! Thanks for all the help guys!

Pattie over at Candy Yum Yum! just reported word of the Caramel Appel Kisses in Wal-Mart. Anyone else see them yet?

Pattie over at Candy Yum Yum! just reported word of the Caramel Appel Kisses in Wal-Mart. Anyone else see them yet?

I looked at KMart today at lunch and didn’t see anything new on the Kiss front.

But in other news KMart had the Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses (the molasses taffy with peanut butter blurp centers) as well as the whole array of Brach’s candy corns (harvest mix, candy corn and indian corn).

i did indeed just find the caramel apple kisses at wal-mart.  i like them!  i mean, they’re definitely artificial through and through, but there’s something about them that i find appealing.

of course, i also like the fake-o charms caramel apple lollipops, so maybe that says something.

just letting people know, i have spotted candy corn and pumpkin spice kisses at my local target in southern NH. they had a halloween themed bag of caramel ones too, and i had to read it carefully to see it was just regular caramel and nothign new or special. At a quick glance I thought it might’ve been the caramel apple ones.

Hi!!! Newbie here!  I love that I can talk about Hershey kisses with a nice group of candy fans. 

And one more thing….what is it with the flavor kisses being mushy?  I thought it was just me.  Glad to know others have the same prob. 

I don’t know why the flavored ones are so dang smooshy. I got the coconut ones when they had them and they were barely solid. I figured maybe it was because of wal mart’s lack of AC and stuck them in the freezer for a while… but it made no difference.

I think in addition to cheaping out on chocolate and other ingredients, Hershey has also begun to do the same to the packaging. I went to Target this weekend and found many different Halloween theme bags of Hershey’s kisses. All the same color and design with the only distinguising marks being the name and picture of the kiss on the front and a recipe in the fine print on the back flap of the bag. They had candy corn, pumpkin spice, caramel and harvest mix…not one package explained what any of them actually were like last years limited editions did.

Some were self explanatory, but the harvest mix puzzled me. Had no idea what it was and the bag didn’t want to explain so I didn’t bother buying. I did find out later that the harvest mix was just regular kisses in Halloween colored wrappers so I’m glad I left them. I nearly bought the caramel as well thinking they were caramel apple, but noticed the mistake before I made it to the counter.

Also found the less ballyhooed cookies n’ creme kisses (only in a huge 18 oz bag) at Wal-Mart and peanut butter filled kisses at Kroger in Troy, MI. Still no luck with caramel apple

i have seen the fabled caramel apple kisses today! i repeat, my walmart has the caramel apple/candy apple whatever-you-call-them kisses. and only $2 a bag too.

do they come out with trial sizes of these?

I don’t want to spend money on a whole bag to find out I don’t like that flavor

bettyfelon, unfortunately, I highly doubt it. Do you have a friend to share a bag with? That’s your best bet, I think.

nope, i’ve never seen a trial size for any type of kiss out here. closest thing i’ve seen once were smaller ‘snack size’ bags of the regular old kisses.

Hi..New to the blog thing…was searching the net for Hershey Kisses and found this seller on Ebay that has quite a range of limited edition hershey kisses…

I have yet to see any limited edition flavors at our local Wal-Mart’s.  I saw a small stack of Pumpkin Spice ones at a local grocery store but when I went back they were gone.  If anyone can direct me to the Caramel Apple and Pumpkin Spice kisses I would be very appreciative.  I’m almost tempted to go that seller on Ebay who sells them but he wants like 7.50 a bag plus shipping.  Ouch!  The newest limited edition flavor I have seen is Neapolitan at our local Sam’s Club.  I look three times a week in our area.  There are 4 Wal-Mart Supecenters within a 15 mile radius of my house so I have looked at all 4 of them.
