Hershey's has some new milk chocolate Kisses that are filled with air in the
middle. Well not quite. They whip the centers. We got a bag for next to
combining a sale and using a coupon and a doubler. So much air is in there
that 11 Kisses is a serving. 7 is a serving of the regular Kisses. At
least 7 for a diabetic, meaning 15g of carb.

I find I *can* eat just one of these. Kisses are one of those things that I
don't dislike. I actually kind of like them but not all that well, maybe
because I have to unwrap them all and that's a pain.

So I find if I want a taste of chocolate, I can eat one of these things.
And I can stop with just one. And they don't mess with my GERD.

i have tried/sold all manner of kisses, the dh gets thes once in a while, i
am not sure if i said it here but i am a chocolate snob so i mostly pass on
chocolate, Lee

Yeah. It is not my favorite chocolate at all. I really prefer a good dark
chocolate but it messes with my GERD very badly.

When I first met my in-laws I really insulted them by bringing them some
Dilettante's chocolate from Seattle. Apparently one does not do that to
people who live in PA. They really love their Hershey's.

I have not tried all of the Kisses. I have tried a few of the flavored ones
and just...yuck! But the plain ones are okay. I used to keep them around
for hypos but now I know the fat in them makes then no good for that.

none of the flavors are good unless you really sugarysweet, except i do like
the one that is white and dark chocolate for a once a year treat, Lee

I do not like white chocolate. I have used it. I used to make chocolates
and I used it to make marbled chocolates or when I did the hand painted
ones, either as is or tinted. I don't mind a small amount like that. But
in general it is too sweet for me. I did use the real stuff, even though I
know it is not technically not chocolate. No way would I ever use those
Wilton melts. How can people eat that stuff?

I would never give out Kisses for Halloween! As I said, I feel it is cheap
to give out little things. And Kisses are one thing I was never allowed to
have if it was in my bag. They are too easy to open and reclose. I never
allowed Angela to have them either.

I always tried to make Halloween somewhat of a big deal for Angela which is
why we gave out better toys like rubber ducks and stuffed animals or the
full sized candy bars. Because her diet is so limited I wanted her to have
something special and to be able to give something special away to the kids
she knows.

I know the Fruit Rollups aren't a really big deal but they are the full size
ones and not the half sized that they put out for Halloween.

I also don't want to take leftover chocolate to the dance studio now that I
know that there are two girls with life threatening dairy allergies. But
the Fruit Rollups would be fine.

haven't knowingly eaten tht, i used to love white chocolate/blueberry bark,
but last time i ate it wasn't what i remembered, and that has been ten years

I didn't look. Let me see if I can see the ingredients online.

Here's a link with nutritional information but no ingredients.

http://www.hersheys.com/kisses/produ...r-delight.aspx

Of course can't find it online. Let me go get the bag...

*Stomps off wearily*

Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar,Milk, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Lactose,
Milk Fat, Soy Lecithin, PGPR Emulsifier, Vanillin, Artificial Flavor).

Are there trans-fats in there? I don't know.

I don't think we have to declare it. Some manufacturers will say "no
trans-fats" but it is a meaningless declaration because if it is under a
certain amount per serving they can call it that.

The air whipped comes in bars too, not just kisses. I tried one of the
chunks in the bar and I thought it was good.

I tried the bar when it came out. I didn't really like that. Apparently
they are like the Nestle Aero available in Canada. I don't like Nestle
chocolate though.

I could have eaten the whole bar, but didn't. I love Nestle chocolate and
Hershey chocolate and just about all chocolate.

That wouldn't appeal to me. I like most berries but can't stand blueberries
at all.

I don't really like most candy. I guess I am just picky.

I must be the only person in the world that doesn't like dark chocolate...I
like the creaminess and smoothness of milk chocolate I Googled this candy
and added trans fat to the word and the first page I came to said no
transfat.

Actually most people I know IRL do not like dark chocolate. And my parents
seem to prefer the really cheap and IMO pseudo chocolate, like Palmers. We
used to get that stuff in our Easter Baskets and Christmas Stockings. They
honestly can not tell the difference between that and an expensive
chocolate. That just baffles me.

I don't know what blueberry bark is but I have never been a white
chocolate lover. I am a bit of a chocolate snob to. I have my favourite
brands. I hate cheap brand easter eggs, they have an unusual sweet
taste - very sickly, not like the sweetness of the brands I like. 75%
is where I stop with dark chocolate too. Higher than that and the
bitterness is awful for me.

Doesn't appear to be. Always weird to me that people have to add
artificial flavour. Isn't cocoa and cocoa butter flavour enough?

I used to love bitter. I even ate cacao nibs. But oh the GERD! Just not
worth it to have even a crumb any more.

Those eggs are just nasty. We used to get them and the only way I could eat
them was to split them in two (the cheap ones split easily) and sandwich
them back together with a lot of peanut butter. I guess it never crossed my
mind just to throw them out. But no doubt that would have gotten me yelled
at.

Ohhhhhh. Cadbury used to be widely available here. Now we can only get it
at places that sell imported foods. I believe it is a Canadian brand. I
will look for it.

and iirc any fat once heated to a certain temp becomes trans fats, like you
think you are being good heating some OO to fry some vegetables in, and poof
its now is trans or has trans fats, Lee

training of the pallet, imho, when food either variety or type is restricted
for any reason, the person restricted begins to pay attention to what is
going past the tastebuds, there was a study i read about that says if you
want a child to eat something, it must be offerred and tasted/eaten every
week for at least ten weeks, we never had this problem because we mostly
liked everything mom served, i went a lot on smells, my sister is a lot
about texture and because my extended family is large and marriages brought
different ethnic foods there is still always something new to try at family
gatherings, lee

i love all berries, but oddly blueberries in a pie or cobbler is sickenly
sweet to me, its my brother's favorite, so my sister makes it with splenda
and it has gotten better tasting as she has reduced the splenda, i think it
reminds me too much of jam in a crust, Lee

bark is or used to be how you bought chocolate here in fancier stores to
reuse in other recipes. white chocolate iir seems is most common as plain,
almond, blueberry and i think rasberry, i used to just by it as it was the
only white chocolate that didn't seem to sweet to eat for dessert... i love
dark chocolate, the dh stops at 75 also, so i get everything over that, lol,

I've never heard of it, but I do know the song that the name refers to.

Personally, if just eating a bar, I prefer a GOOD milk chocolate. (Not
Hershey!) But bars are not my favorite way to eat chocolate. I prefer
ganache and truffles. I like ganaches for cakes to be made with good dark
couverture, and truffles with a combination of milk and dark.

The truffles I sell are usually a combination of two chocolates selected
from a palette of three, all single bean origin El Rey from Venezuela: Gran
Saman (70%, dark and earthy), Mijao (61%, dark and smooth), Caoba (41%, a
milk chocolate with caramel notes that contains a lot more cocoa mass than
most milk chocolates). I combine them differently depending on the flavor
I'm aiming at. Most of them are dipped in Mijao, although a few milk
chocolate ones are dipped in Caoba (Peppermint Mochaccino, Latte Amaretto,
and Mint Julep).

In my experience, people talk a lot of BS about how they "only like dark
chocolate." Usually while they are scarfing down my truffles made with half
Caoba, dipped in Mijao. Normally I don't tell them what they are raving
about. I recall one stupid young woman who was reaching for a second sample
who actually drew her hand back when I told her that contained some milk
chocolate. On that occasion I couldn't resist telling her that she wouldn't
ever have known if I hadn't told her. The milk chocolate is there to give
the ganache extra creaminess and a little sweetness. It doesn't dominate the
flavor.

Cadbury is an English brand. It is their equivalent of Hershey or Nestle,
and not particularly good IMNSHO, although it is better than Hershey. It is
sold in supermarkets here.

I admit a fondness for Mint Aeros, dating back to my schooldays in England.
Since then, they've come out with an orange flavor that is even better. But
the orange is not available here.

The Wilon melts are truly disgusting. Merckens are much better, but still
disgusting. Most people who claim to be making chocolate candies are using
melts of one kind or another. I make some stuff using Merckens for one
particular retailer, but I wouldn't put my name on any of it.

Blueberry pie should be tart. It is only sickening sweet if you put too much
sugar in it.

and iirc has recently been purchased by mars or mestle, but can't remember
which, Lee

I love the 85% but fount the 90%, whihc is not always available, too
bitter. Is there any one else here who once snitched a square of their
mother's baking chocolate and had a great shock? I remember doing that
with my best friend . Neveer again!!!! That was when I learned about
baking chocolate:-)
