Carrot Cake-Flavored Chocolates

This Iconic Candy Now Comes in a Special Easter Flavor

— February 17, 2016 — Lifestyle
Recent store sightings indicate that carrot cake-flavored Hershey's Kisses may arrive just in time for Easter. While Valentine's Day has only been over for a few days now, brands are already looking towards the next major holiday. In order to celebrate the Easter season, Hershey's is giving consumers a new version of its iconic chocolate treats.

The Carrot Cake Hershey's Kisses were recently spotted on the shelves of Walmart, meaning they will likely be rolled out just in time for Easter. The Kisses are made from white chocolate, with a carrot cake-flavored filling inside. The spring-like flavors are complemented by the bright packaging and spring-inspired graphics on the outside of the bag.

Although there is no official release date for the delicious new Kisses, it is likely that they will be available closer to Easter.
