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!
Supplies You’ll Need
Each Hershey Kiss Rose takes about 10 minutes to make, with a prep time of around 5 minutes.
To make your Hershey Kiss Roses, gather the following items:
- HERSHEY’S KISSES Brand Chocolates or HUGS Chocolates (red foils work best)
- Florist tape
- Artificial leaves (optional—we used green ribbon)
- Florist wire (20 gauge works best)
- Clear cellophane, plastic wrap, or red glitter tulle

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Rosebud
Pair two Hershey Kisses flat sides together. Use glue dots if desired.
Wrap the two Hershey Kisses in tulle or cellophane. You’ll need about a 4″ square.
Secure the tulle over the Hershey Kisses using the florist tape to form a rosebud.
Place the florist wire against the florist tape that secures the tulle.
2. Assemble the Stem
Place the florist wire against the florist tape securing the tulle.
Wrap the florist tape around the base of the rosebud, continuing down the entire length of the wire.
Add artificial leaves or ribbon if desired. Secure them to the wire with florist tape as you continue wrapping.
3. Finish the Rose
Continue wrapping the floral tape down the wire until the stem reaches the desired length.
Trim the wire using wire cutters.
You now have a beautiful Hershey Kisses Rose! Repeat these steps to create a bouquet, and arrange your Hershey Kisses Roses in a box or vase.
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.
