Again with the limited edition Hershey’s Kisses! Will they ever end? Let’s hope not, because all the special flavors give us an ongoing excuse to purchase them. Anyway, the other day I was leafing through piles of Sunday newspaper advertisements when something in the Target circular caught my eye–Hershey’s Limited Edition Kisses in orange creme flavor! The circular claimed this flavor was a Target exclusive! How does Target do it? I mean, you know that Target has the exclusive red marshmallow Peeps, right? Red! How cool is that! But I digress. I scampered off to Target in search of the orange creme Kisses and was promptly rewarded.
Aren’t they lovely? They taste quite lovely as well. They reminded me a bit of the limited edition Dreamsicle (or was it Creamsicle?) flavor of Frangos. The orange creme Kiss is white chocolate with stripes of orange-flavored white chocolate. It has a pleasant orange flavor that blends nicely with the white chocolate. I detected a hint of vanilla, too. Though they are tasty, they are also quite sweet, so you can’t eat too many of them without getting sugar overload. Now I am kind of craving orange creme soda, Creamsicles, and those little orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream cups. I think these orange creme Kisses may have started something …

These were actually released for the first time around Halloween 05, I guess they must have been popular … I agree completely with the creamsicle comparison!

March 12th, 2007 at 8:02 pmI was so upset when these disappeared after their initial run a couple of years ago, that I wrote a tribute to them on a blog. Just now, I found your article because I was searching for where to buy them this time around. I went on an unsuccessful (now I know why) multi-store search for them yesterday. Until now, I was not aware they are a Target exclusive. The only problem is, my Target ran out of them weeks ago and they have not restocked them. Now that I know, I will ask the store manager to get more in before it’s too late! Thanks for this post. And I agree with the creamsicle comparison; I tell everyone the same thing. Too good.
