These Hershey Kisses Roses are economical and combine the gifts of chocolate and roses into one.
In 2011, on CNN, the average Valentine’s Day price for a dozen florist-arranged, long-stemmed roses in the United States was just above $73, according to the Society of American Florists.
At other times of the year, it’s just more than $59.
We spent a little less than $11 on all the supplies, and it should yield about 22 kiss roses–about 50-cents each.

How to Make a Hershey Kiss Rose Supplies List:
HERSHEY’S KISSES Brand Chocolates or HUGS Chocolates, red foils
Florist tape
Artificial leaves (optional)–we used a green ribbon
Florist wire–20 gauge works best
Clear cellophane, plastic wrap or used red, glitter tulle
How to Make a Hershey Kiss Rose Instructions:
Wrap the two Hershey Kisses in Tulle (or cellophane)–you’ll need about a 4″ square.
Secure the tulle (or cellophane) over the Hershey Kisses using the florist tape. This will give you a rosebud.
Place the florist wire against the florist tape that secures the tulle.
Starting at the bottom of the rose, wrap florist tape around the edges of the wire and the bud’s florist tape–continuing down the entire length of wire with tape.
If desired, add 1 or 2 artificial leaves, or we used ribbon and folded it in half to make a loop.
Place leaf or ribbon against wire where you want and secure in place with florist tape as you twist the florist tape down the wire.
Continue wrapping floral tape down the wire until the “stem” is the length you want.
Then, using wire cutters, trim the wire.
You have now completed your Hershey Kisses Rose!
Continue these steps to build a bouquet and arrange the Hersey Kisses Roses in a box or vase.
