Yesterday I had one Limited Edition Hershey’s Cherry Cordial Kiss and it was really good (thanks, Hope!). It was sort of like the caramel-filled kisses, but the inside was filled with a thick cherry-flavored filling. I was going to post about it here and show pics and a link to the site, but there is no mention of these that I can find anywhere on the Hershey’s site (or on the internet or that matter). Are these being test marketed only in select markets (I’m in NC) so they don’t mention them on their website anywhere?
I looked around on the Hershey’s website for a while and could not find a general question email address. They do have a toll-free number but it’s only available 9-4, M-F. I might have to call them up and ask them about the Cherry Kisses on Monday. I’ll update you on Monday if I find out anything. Has anyone else across the country seen/tried these Cherry Kisses? My sister Bonnie snapped the above picture of this elusive candy.
UPDATE: I just created an online petition asking Hershey’s to keep the Cherry Kisses around all year. If you like them, go sign it! Thanks to a reader named Karma for the idea! Read my post about the petition.
Buy Hershey’s Cordial Kisses online:
- at Candy Direct
- at Amazon.com
I actually saw a piece on limited edition candy on 20/20 (I think) a few months ago. It said that they are going to be limited edition release from November to early February only. So maybe you’re in a test market, or they rolled them out early. I believe they specifically said that they’ll be gone before Valentine’s Day. So..stock up. I have been looking for them, but haven’t come across any yet.
RESPONSE: Thanks for the info! I like your site!

We bought some of the cherry flavored hersey kisses last week. I have been all over looking for more and cannot find that flavor. WHERE can I find more. These are sooooooooo gooooood!!!!
Thanks,
Rose Marie
RESPONSE: I only had that one, but I am longing for more. I need to go on the hunt for them to get another bag or ten. –The Candy Kid
October 18th, 2005 at 12:55 amI just purchased (10/16/05) a large bag of the cherry kisses from Sam’s Club in Orange County, CA…if that helps anyone find them! I would assume other Sam’s Clubs might be carrying them! I hope they stick around for a while…they are sooo good!!
October 20th, 2005 at 12:46 amAll I can say about then is OMG! I only had one and I NEED more! I am also an the elusive path to find more. The co-worker who had them said that she purchased them at a Sam’s Club in Austin, Texas. However I live at minimum of an hour away from Austin, with gas prices the way they are I am having hard time convincing myself that it is worth the drive all the way in for them. Plus what happens if I got there and they were all gone! YIKES!!! Found them on the Sam’s online page but wouldn’t you know it states “No home delivery” How dare them!
October 20th, 2005 at 5:34 amSo, sounds like Sam’s Club is the place. I’ve got to make a run and see if I can find them too somewhere.
–Brian
October 20th, 2005 at 7:40 amHere in Philadelphia, I found them (cherry kisses) in two CVS stores. I think they are the best of all the kisses so far, but I’m still waiting for the solid white chocolate kiss. That will be the ultimate !
RESPONSE: Personally, I never really liked white chocolate, but I don’t think I have ever had GOOD white chocolate. As for the cherry kisses, I agree – they are the best I have had….so far. –The Candy kid
October 25th, 2005 at 9:08 pmThe Hershey kiss that started this post was bought from a BJ’s. That’s like a Sam’s Club, for those that don’t know :)
October 25th, 2005 at 9:58 pmi had them. my friend bought a whole bag at a whole sale store in Georgia, (BJ’s -but you might want to check Sam’s or costco if there are any in your area) so check there.
October 27th, 2005 at 3:06 amI found them at B.J.’s in Columbia (MD)about a month ago, but when I went back last weekend to buy more to mail to a niece who can’t find them, they were all gone! They are sooo good!
October 28th, 2005 at 7:01 amThey are really good, I hope they will decide to keep them on the shelves permanently. Thier like a Chocolate Covered Cherry without the cherry inside. With the great taste of Hershey’s chocolate. I FOUND A WEBPAGE SELLING bags of them for anyone who hasn’t found them at SAM’s
hope this helps, we should get a petition started to keep them around. someone hook it up
RESPONSE: Good find! I started the petition just like you suggested. Go here to sign it: http://www.petitiononline.com/candyad/petition.html –The Candy Kid
October 28th, 2005 at 10:38 pmThese are the best Hershey kisses around! I also found them at Sam’s club in Tennessee. I’m going to run back for more before they are all gone!! They taste just like a chocolate covered cherry! :)
October 29th, 2005 at 8:01 amI found the cherry flavored kisses at our local Walgreens in Northern Illinois. Boy are they good. Try them frozen. Still don’t see anything on their website. Hope you have good luck finding them. We bought lots! 2 bags for $5!!! It says limited edition! Enjoy! Good luck!

November 18th, 2005 at 8:15 amI got a bag from CVS last week …. went back today for more but they’re all gone. These are the best ever! I signed the petition and hope many others do too.
December 14th, 2005 at 6:55 amI would like to find more of the Limited Edition Cherry Cordias. I have searched everywhere in my area and can’t fine anymore. I live in Mid Missouri. Can a person order them? They really are delicious and would be even better if they would make them with dark chocolate!
December 20th, 2005 at 11:48 amI LIVE IN OHIO AND ONLY FOUND THEM AT WAL-MART AT THE TIME I DIDN’T KNOW THEY WOULD BE IMPOSIBLE TO GET AGAIN AND I ONLY BOUGHT ONE BAG I REALLY HOPE THEY START THEM AGAIN AND KEEP THEM THEY ARE AWSOME

December 27th, 2005 at 3:02 pmhttp://www.hersheys.com/kisses/products/detail.asp?name=cherry-cordial
I found the above at Hershey’s website
January 5th, 2006 at 12:59 pmi found the cherry cordial’s at target in marquette, mi. at christmas time and i loved them. i use to eat the chocolate covered cherries with the cream and the liquid filled cella’s and i have dentures and they would make me gag so i had to give them up with great disappointment. when i ate the hersey cherry cordial, i was thrilled when i didn’t gag cause of my dentures. please keep them going they are great. thanks.
RESPONSE: Too much information :)

These have been spotted at Sam’s Clubs in two states (that I am aware of). North Carolina and Maine. The 36 oz bags are going for around $12 plus shipping on E-bay. People must really love ‘em. I know I do!
January 11th, 2006 at 12:17 pmGOT A WHOLE BAG OF THEM AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO GET SOME MORE YOU CAN’T FIND ANY MORE OF THEM. I THINK THEY SHOULD SELL THEM YEAR AROUND. YOU FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE AND THEY WON’T PUT IT ON THE MARKET FOR YOU TO BUY.
January 15th, 2006 at 11:45 amJumbocandy.com still has a ton of these tasty little chocolates!
January 17th, 2006 at 2:24 pmI like your blog and your idea for a chocolate Kisses petition.
You should know that the next time you want to create a petition you should go to XXXXXXXX because it allows you to create CUSTOM petitions…
1) that look like your blog or site; and
2) do NOT have advertising on your petition
Just some friendly advice.
RESPONSE: Actually, next time I’ll just host it myself on my own site. But thanks anyway.
January 19th, 2006 at 4:15 pm–Brian
Another spotting–this time at a CVS in Chapel Hill, NC!!!
They are now 2 bags for $5–get ‘em while they’re still around!!!
January 20th, 2006 at 8:19 pmI was at Sam’s Club yesterday and they have the 38.5 oz. bag for $6.83. What a great price. I saw on line you can order it for $19.99, that’s just too much. They are so good, I hope Hershey decides to keep them around all year. not just at Christmas time. I’ve looked everywhere else and nobody carries them right now.
January 22nd, 2006 at 4:58 ammy mom and dad are goig nuts looking for them and noow i found out that there limmited i think here were i live wont have the puerto rico
January 25th, 2006 at 2:31 pmi was tempted with one free cherry cordial mystery kiss from an advertisement
January 25th, 2006 at 10:00 pmthat an apartment comflex handed out 2 weeks ago. Have been on a mad search ever since. please let me know if any are seen in dallas tx.
Do not worry mom, I have found some and they are in the mail.
January 25th, 2006 at 10:21 pmLove you.
i thought these candies were the best things on earth but little did i know the best thing on earth found them for me. i love you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 25th, 2006 at 10:37 pmI was having a chocolate craving last week and decided to dig into my kids candy stash. They still have some left over from Halloween and Christmas. I grabbed a Hershey’s Kiss and popped it into my mouth and OH MY GOD!!!!!! What a treat, it tasted like cherry. I checked the little paper and it said cherry. I have been looking since that day to try and find more but to no avail. I checked the Hershey’s website and if you go under products by alphabet they will have the cherry cordials there and you can order them. I believe it $5.95 for a tin of these candies. But I want some now and wish I could find some at a store. I have yet to check out Walgreen’s, Super D’s and Rite Aid. Sometimes they will have things like that because of Valentine’s Day.
RESPONSE: Yep you’re right – here’s the link.
January 30th, 2006 at 10:51 am–Brian
I found them at Sam’s Club in Colorado. About $7 for a 38.5 oz bag. They’re wonderful!!!! Hope Hershey’s figures out what a goldmine these are. Just look at what prices eBay is getting…~$16/bag!!! If Hershey’s wants to boost it’s profits (instead of someone else’s), it has got to make these avlb full-time.
January 31st, 2006 at 11:57 amI just bought (2) bags of 38.5 oz bags for $15/a piece. What can I say, I’m shameless! These are the best kisses that I have ever had, I really hope that Hershey starts making them yearround. I attempted to sign the online petition, but my computer froze midway thru the process. How is Hershey viewing the petition? Just curious….
February 14th, 2006 at 11:21 pmLook on Ebay. They’re selling some bags over there. I purchased 2 38.5 oz bags for 20.00.
February 19th, 2006 at 5:03 amSomeone sent me the kisses for a gift N I went everywhere to fine it them N had know luck.They were flavor with cherry flavor not fill with it .
March 4th, 2006 at 12:40 pmThe Walmart store in Decorah, Iowa has them in again!!!! YAY!!!!! Don’t know if this means that they’re bringing them back again, tho- the bag still says limited edition on it. Let’s hope they’re back for good!!!! : )
April 23rd, 2006 at 5:43 pmFound them at Krogers(Ohio) last month & they still have them.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:14 pmI have found the cherry kisses at Kroger in Peachtree city which is near Atlanta Ga. They seem to carry them year round. Love it!!!!!
June 8th, 2006 at 7:02 amjust to let you all know BJ’S Wholesale (NJ)) has lots of these kisses
November 17th, 2006 at 3:42 amI used them to make a cookiE and WOW
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CANT FIND THEM
I stumbled upon Cherry Kisses by accident when my grandfather bought a bag from CVS for Christmas. Back then, the bags used to say limited edition but as of 1/17/07, they don’t anymore!

OMG I was just eating Halloween candy and popped one into my mouth. There were no other cherry kisses in my bag and no person in my office has heard of them before. THEY ARE AMAZING
November 6th, 2008 at 5:22 pmI’m with Nicole, they are amazing! I too was having candy at at a local business that had a dish and was expecting a normal hershey kiss but got one of these. SOOO GOOD.
January 20th, 2009 at 8:14 pmWell, I have been nuying them for 6 months now, so the petition seems to have worked.. Does anyone else agree, they do still seem to be available at some stores. They are really delicious. I like to slowly let me them melt without breaking it open for as long as possible.
