Though Christmastime is still far away, that doesn't mean we can't get excited about favorite delicious chocolate variations, including Hershey's recently announced new Chocolate Kisses.
Double the size of the original chocolates, this doesn't mean that you can't eat just as many. Instead of solid milk chocolate, these treats have a roasted hazelnut in their center as well as rice crisps speckled about the inside to give them a nice crunch. By using rice instead of wheat crisps, the chocolates will also be able to be marketed as a gluten-free option.
The final touch on these supersized Chocolate Kisses is a golden wrapper instead of silver, telling of its increase in quality and deliciousness.
