How to Make a Rosette Out of Hershey's Kisses
Hershey's Kisses were introduced to the world in 1907 and have never changed in shape, according to the Hershey Company. The delectable chocolate candies can be used to make an attractive rosette bouquet to be given as an anniversary or Valentine's Day gift or used as a wedding reception centerpiece decoration. Rosette bouquets are inexpensive to make and can vary in size, depending on how many Hershey's Kiss rosebuds you want to create.

Select two Hershey's Kisses wrapped in red foil and use double-sided tape to stick the bottoms together so that both chocolate points are sticking outward.

Wrap a ½-inch-square piece of red cellophane around the kisses, gathering the corners around the tip of one of the kisses. Twist the cellophane to ensure a tight fit. Use a strip of green florist tape to wrap the cellophane corners tightly.
