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?

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

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.

So why not use these for halloween so if they are left they won't do
horrendous damage to you.

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.

Doesn't say, do you have to declare it in the US?

i think so but it can be buried in the ingr list instead of the nutrition
info, Lee, who is almost sure,

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.

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

Correction - any polyunsaturated fat heated to a certain temperature
changes to about 50% or more trans-fats. Saturated fats do not,
because they do not have the type of links that can change to make
them trans-fats. I'm not sure about monounsaturated fats.

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.

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'd say, you can't tell from that ingredients list.

The key phrase to watch for is "partially hydrogenated" - a process
that usually converts polyunsaturated fats at least 50% into
trans-fats.
