How to Make a Giant Chocolate Kiss

You don't have to buy giant Hershey's Kisses at the store for gift giving when you can make this candy yourself. These kisses mean a lot more when they are made with love. Follow these steps to make your own giant kiss.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 bag of milk chocolate chips
• Double boiler
• Funnel
• Non-stick cooking spray
• Aluminum foil
• Coffee mug
• Freezer
• Paper

1. Bring water to a boil in a double boiler. Add one bag of milk chocolate chips to the top pan in the double boiler. Sir continuously over medium heat as the chocolate melts to keep the chocolate from burning.
2. Spray a funnel with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Place some aluminum foil over the small end of the funnel to keep the chocolate from coming out when you pour it in. Place the funnel into a coffee mug's small end first so that it sits up straight.
4. Pour the melted milk chocolate into the large end of the funnel almost all the way to the top. Make sure the top is level and straight.
5. Put the mug holding the chocolate-filled funnel inside into the freezer for about 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
6. Remove the chocolate carefully from the funnel and wrap it up in aluminum foil.
7. Cut a strip of thin paper about an inch wide. Write a message on the paper like a real Hershey's Kiss has. Tuck it into the end of the foil at the point of the kiss.

Tips & Warnings

• If giving this candy kiss to a friend or family member, you can put their name on the paper or a customized message for them.
• You can make this kiss with white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.
• Wrap your giant candy kiss in red or green plastic wrap over the aluminum foil to make it look more festive.
