Hershey's Kisses

Bigger than a chocolate chip...smaller than a candy bar.

Hershey's Kisses were first introduced in 1907. Their well known wrapping didn't debut until 1921. That's when the famous little plume was added as well. They had their 100th birthday on July 7, 2007 and are certainly an American Classic.

(Hey, 7.7 is my daughter's birthday too!)

Did you Know? 

  • Kisses are made with machines that drop just the right amount of chocolate onto a conveyor belt. It's not known exactly how Kisses got their name, but one theory is that they were named for the sound and motion of those machines.

  • Hershey's makes more than 80 million KISSES Brand Chocolates every day at its chocolate factories in Pennsylvania, California and Virginia.

  • Variations called Sweethearts, Silver Tops, and Silverpoints were produced in the early 1900s.

  • Hershey's Kisses were not manufactured between 1942 and 1949 due to the rationing of silver foil during and after World War II.

  • It takes about 95 Hershey's Kisses to equal one pound of chocolate.

  • The longest ever consecutive string of Hershey's Kisses was more than four miles long! It was created to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network at Penn State Children's Hospital.

  • The World's Largest Hershey's Kiss weighed 30,540 pounds. It was made for their 100th birthday celebration in Hershey, PA.

Sound Off 

A serving size of Hershey's Kisses is 9 pieces. Is that enough?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Only 9? Once that bag is open they are gone in a flash!

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Ya, for a goldfish! lol 9? What are they nuts?!?

paula says:

NO

Rajays says:

We want more! We want more!

Janet says:

Are you kidding me? Nine pieces? No way is that enough chocolate. Then again, you are asking a certified chocohalic! :)

Victoria_Neely says:

Nine measly pieces? Give me the whole bag!

bdkz says:

No way! The more chocolate the better!

9's plenty! I couldn't eat that many at once anyway.

KimGiancaterino says:

I can be satisfied with 9 kisses! At least for awhile.

Reg_Brittain says:

I like Hershey's Kisses alright. I don't usually have more than 5. My weakness is Peanut M&Ms. I could eat a medium-size bag in one sitting. (Calling Dr. Drew right now, at this realization.)

Comfortdoc says:

Hershey's kisses are one of the recommended ways of eating chocolate if you crave it (while dieting or watching your calorie intake). 9 pieces helps in keeping to a moderate serving size while getting a chocolate 'fix.'

rms says:

Nine's plenty for me at one time, but time goes by very quickly, you know?

mulberry says:

Yikes, more than 9? I probably COULD but why would I want to?

jeffwend says:

9 is more than enough, one or two will satisfy my sweet tooth.

GypsyPirate says:

They actually have a reasonable serving size (yes, I read that info on candy labels). But, I do admit that I certainly can eat that many at once.

We used to be able to see Hershey's chocolate being made in one of the Central California towns, but the factory was closed and operations moved to Mexico. :( I don't eat them much these days because I am focusing on Chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa.
