Cake-Flavored Chocolates

The New Birthday Cake Hershey's Kisses Celebrate the Brand's Anniversary

In honor of its 109th birthday, Hershey's has released new Birthday Cake Hershey's Kisses. The tantalizing chocolates not only put a delicious twist on a classic flavor, but they also come with fun new packaging that makes them perfect for any birthday celebration.

The Birthday Cake Hershey's Kisses are bite-sized chocolates crafted to mimic the taste of a real birthday cake. The candies consist of a white chocolate base mixed with colorful cookie bits and "real birthday cake flavor." The Kisses are then individually wrapped in polka-dotted foil and sold in a birthday-themed party bag.

To promote the new flavor, Hershey's has set up birthday cake kiosks at some stores where the Kisses will be sold. The kiosks allow customers to personalize their Birthday Cake Kisses with custom stickers in order to create the ultimate party bags.
