Ask and you shall receive! At least that’s how I feel after discovering that Hershey’s has released two more limited edition kisses in time for Valentines Day. The two new flavors are Special Dark Raspberry and Strawberry Creme, the latter being the cause of my extreme excitement. It was only a few short weeks ago that I shared my enjoyment of the Special Dark Strawberry Kisses with you and even mused about a white chocolate version. There seems to be greater forces at work here…
After scouring my usual haunts in search of this new Strawberry Kiss, I finally found them in Target, where it was cleverly displayed near the registers. I had a hard time keeping myself from tearing the bag open right then and there! I knew patience is a virtue, so I decided to wait to try them after dinner when I knew I could appreciate their flavor to the fullest.
The visuals, at least, do not disappoint. Hearts and lace aside, they are really romantic looking Kisses if I’ve ever seen one. Similar to the Hugs and the Candy Cane Kiss, these have the standard white base but are now decorated with brink pink stripes. The smell of strawberry when opening the bag is similar to the dark chocolate strawberry version. Upon tasting the Kisses, I can now say with confidence that they did use the same strawberry flavoring as the Dark Strawberry. I was let down though by how the white chocolate mixed with it. It has a cheese-cakey sort of taste to it, not the sort of sweet creamy vanilla flavor I associate with white chocolate.
These Kisses are yummy, but not to the extent that I had imagined. These beauties are worth picking up regardless, especially since they are around only for a limited time.

January 30th, 2007 at 1:49 pmthe Strawberry Creme as “new.” My friends
and I used to snack on those during
one of our college classes two years ago : D
Those don’t look that great – generally, white chocolate from Hershey’s isn’t that good – do they even use real cocoa butter?
January 30th, 2007 at 6:53 pmI haven’t tried the strawberry ones yet. They do have raspberry chocolate ones that are pretty awesome!
January 30th, 2007 at 7:02 pmI just got the Espresso ones and the Macadamia Nut ones. Both with Special Dark Chocolate. The Espresso was way too coffee tasting. But I am really not a huge coffee fan and the Macadamia Nut ones weren’t overly sweet but they were good. There are also new Carmel Creme ones too… Would love to know your take on those!
February 8th, 2007 at 1:11 pm@Chloe: Ohhhh, Caramel Creme? I need to find those! Where have you seen them?
February 8th, 2007 at 1:42 pmI can never find the strawberry ones. T^T And Special Dark Strawberry ones? I neeed those… How divine… ^o^
February 15th, 2007 at 5:55 pmI’ve never tried the Strawberry Creme ones, but the Dark Chocolate with Rasberry Kisses are disgusting!!!
October 17th, 2007 at 5:52 pmI just saw the add for strawberry kisses, so I’m off to the store to get some. I will give send a review after tasting them. I hope they are as good as the candy cane kisses.

Sadly, I have just now got my hands on them. I love them, but then again I’m more of a white chocolate lover than milk or dark. (sorry to admit) I love them! I think they taste like strawberry milk if you let them melt in your mouth.
