Holiday Kisses

There is no candy that represents the holiday season better than Hershey Kisses; even the name is festive! My favorite part about Hershey Kisses? Besides the deliciously smooth milk or dark chocolate, would have to be the amount of color options available. There are color combinations to fit just about every holiday themed party.

If you are throwing a Christmas party, pick up some bulk 5 pound bag of kisses to add to your candy buffet. They are available in Green and Silver, Red, Green, and Silver, and Red and Green. If you’re hosting a Hanukkah themed party, they are offered in Blue and Silver.

Looking to try a new flavor of Hershey Kiss? Look no further than Cherry Cordial and Candy Cane. These two flavors are sure to awaken your taste buds on a cold winter day!

The holiday season also means that it’s party season from Thanksgiving all the way to the start of the next year. It’s also the season for surprise visitors or spontaneous family reunions. When guests show up all of a sudden at your doorstep, it’s best to be prepared with holiday mini candy to serve.

To keep things festive, there are many creative ways you can present these candies to your guests.
