Velvety Valentine's Day Chocolates

Hershey’s Kisses Meltaway Roses are Coming for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and Hershey's is gearing up for the season with new Hershey’s Kisses Meltaway Roses.

Just in time for the most romantic day of the year, Hershey's has unveiled a twist on its classic chocolate kisses. The new Hershey’s Kisses Meltaway Roses feature a milk chocolate coating surrounding a velvety smooth, cake-like chocolate center. When you savor these chocolates, the outer shell melts away to reveal the delicious chocolate inside. To make the chocolates a little more seasonal, each of the kisses is individually wrapped in red foil printed with roses.

The new Hershey’s Kisses Meltaway Roses are set to begin rolling out nationwide in the New Year, so you can stock up ahead of Valentine's Day.
