Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz chocolate candy melts 340 g
  • 50 milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses unwrapped
  • 50 mini Nilla wafer cookies
  • 50 mini chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper; reserve.
  2. Soften the candy melts as directed on the package until they are fully melted and silky.
  3. Take each Hershey's Kiss and gently coat its flat base with a thin layer of the melted chocolate, then immediately affix it to the flat side of a mini Nilla wafer. Position the cookie side down on the prepared sheet. Continue with all remaining Kisses and cookies.
  4. Pour the leftover melted chocolate into a small resealable bag and cut off a tiny tip.
  5. Squeeze a bit of chocolate onto a mini chocolate chip and fix it to the wafer's top to create the stem.
  6. Allow to harden at ambient temperature, or chill the baking sheet for about 5 minutes until fully firm.
