How to Make a Bouquet out of Hersey Kisses

Turn a favorite chocolate treat into a creative bouquet.

Make a delectable bouquet of treats from Hershey Kisses for a special gift for your favorite chocoholic. The Hershey Kisses are arranged to look like small rosebuds and wrapped in red cellophane wrap for a more authentic appearance. Stems and leaves are added to the roses to finish the flowers and then the bouquet of flowers is wrapped in your favorite ribbon. Make a giant bouquet of Hershey Kisses for your significant other or make small bouquets of just two or three rosebuds to hand out to friends at school.

Things You'll Need

• Hershey Kisses
• Red cellophane wrap
• Wooden skewers
• Silk leaves
• Green floral tape
• Ribbon
• Vase (or clear cellophane wrap)

Instructions

1. Hold two Hershey Kisses in one hand with the wide ends of the Kisses together.

2. Place the Kisses on a piece of red cellophane wrap with one pointed end facing downward against the wrap. This is the top end of the flower. Cover the Kisses with the cellophane wrap and overlap the ends of the cellophane over the other pointed end. This is the bottom of the flower. Cut off the excess cellophane.

3. Poke a wooden skewer through the cellophane ends and into the bottom of the flower.

4. Hold a silk leaf against the skewer, a few inches from the chocolate rose and wrap green floral tape around the skewer the leaf's stem, all the way to the bottom of the skewer to make the rose stem.

5. Repeat the above steps to make as many Hershey Kisses roses as you would like for your bouquet.

6. Gather the wooden skewer stems together in one hand, wrap a long piece of ribbon around the stems and tie the ribbon ends in a bow.

7. Insert the stems into a flower vase or wrap the entire bouquet in cellophane like a bouquet of flowers.
