“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schulz
Nothing else quite gets me in the spirit of Valentine’s Day than Hershey’s Kisses!
It’s hard not to love Hershey’s Kisses – am I right? These little treats have been around for quite some time and with each new flavor that is introduced they seem to get better and better. I still prefer the plain milk chocolate, but I certainly can’t resist the chocolate & caramel combination!
With such an outstanding reputation, you can’t go wrong by pressing a Hershey’s Kiss into a chocolate cookie. It’s easy, delicious and a definite way to win over some hearts this Valentine’s day!

These cookies look so delicious!! I’ve had peanut blossoms before, but these are much prettier.
I love peanut butter blossoms! I actually have some leftover Hershey’s Kisses from this recipe and thought I might make blossoms. I never got a chance to make them during the holidays this year.
