I am so disappointed - I know my Hershey's Kisses, and I swear this chocolate is different. It doesn't have that distinctive Hershey's flavor and instead tastes more like cheaper quality Halloween or Easter chocolates. Do you think maybe they use a cheaper chocolate to compensate for the cost of the macadamia nuts? We had the milk chocolate version. Maybe the dark chocolate is better.

All gone!! :-( They are indeed great. But at $4.75 per 8-oz bag at ABC stores, they really are pricey! :-( And as someone noted, you can get the "jumbo size" version (can't remember the weight... 1- or 1.5-pounds?) at Costco warehouses -- but only the ones in Hawaii. Much better value. Still... Depressing that Costco won't ship to the Mainland! :-( I just came back from Hawaii last week and I brought home 6 bags of this stuff for co-workers and friends.

Yumm! Ours had good sized peices of macadamia nuts in them although I would've perferred a full size nut (but beggars can't be choosie! lol!) Still a great product. I wonder why Hershey only makes them for Hawaii!? Maybe once the word gets out Hersey will add the rest of the States. Anyway, Hershey found a good use for all the small broken nut peices!

The best deal is at Cost-Co. You can get a huge bag for under $15. The macadamia nuts inside are large. I absolutely love them. These are limited to sales in Hawaii only. The best deal is at Cost-Co.

My hubby and I spent his R&R in Hawaii and we fell in love with them. The ones we purchased do have a whole, or at very least half of a macadamia nut in each one. I have got to figure out how to get some more because they are so addictive. I LOVE THEM! My hubby and I spent his R&R in Hawaii and we fell in love with them.

Being in the military I had the pleasure of only paying 3.49 a bag on the base. However, if you purchase them in town they are about a dollar more a bag. They were so easy to become addicted to, and there was quite a bit of nut in them. Now, I was just there in May, I bought 35 bags to bring home with me. I have been sharing them with co-workers, coaches and family. But, I am really disappointed! About half of each bag are missing the nut completely! I contacted Hershey's about it and they sent me $6 in coupons. I again contacted them, it's more than a refund, it's quality assurance. And, when I want a mac nut, I want a mac nut, not a plain kiss. They said without a receipt they will only reimburse up to $25, well, I sure hope they check their recipe and their machines and whatever else they need to check to get the kisses right!!! I won't buy in bulk from them anymore. I myself lived in Hawaii for three years and was there at the release of these. Being in the military I had the pleasure of only paying 3.49 a bag on the base.

I am not a chocolate fan, but it was only sold in Hawaii and they are absolutely so good and addicting. It is so worth purchasing them and try. YUMMY!!! :) So, I just came back from the Big Island of Hawaii 4 Days ago, and when I saw these at the Mauna Loa Plantation I must have to have them.
