Oh hi! Are you new here? I would love to have you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or one of the other sites listed over there on the right.
I love my grandma’s Chocolate Kiss Cookies, well, because they are delicious but also because they make me think of her. I didn’t get a chance to make them for Christmas like I usually do, so Valentine’s Day was a perfect excuse. Instead of using stars or Hersey Kisses I opted for Reece’s Peanut Butter hearts. The Reece’s and then the peanut butter in the cookie made them so yummmmmmy. I bet you could use any type of chocolate candy to fit the holiday, except maybe not mint…mint and peanut butter might be weird. J
I wish they
had Shamrock chocolates so I could make them for St. Patty’s Day!
