Hershey Kisses Roses: An Economical Delight

Hershey Kisses Roses are both economical and charming. Combining the sweetness of chocolate with the beauty of roses, these delightful creations cost about 50 cents each and take very little time to make. Compare that to the average price for a dozen florist-arranged, long-stemmed roses in the United States, which was over $73 on Valentine’s Day in 2011 according to the Society of American Florists. Even during other times of the year, the price is just over $59. Our tutorial will show you how to create these lovely treats for a fraction of the cost!

Each Hershey Kiss Rose takes about 10 minutes to make, with a prep time of around 5 minutes.

  • Florist tape

A Winter Wonderland Anecdote

I once made 200 of these Hershey Kisses Roses for my niece’s Quinceanera. Her theme was Winter Wonderland, so I used silver Hershey Kisses with blue cellophane, white silk leaves, and white floral tape. The result was stunning and added a magical touch to her special day.
