Seasonal Hershey’s Kisses have a way of capturing hearts, especially when they disappear from the shelves after the holiday season. From the classic milk chocolate Kisses dressed up in charming Valentine’s packaging featuring Snoopy & Friends to special flavors like Hershey’s Kisses Candy Cane, these treats leave a noticeable absence when they’re gone.

Feeling the absence the most might be lovers of the Hershey’s seasonal summer treat – Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses. Well, good news for them: Hershey has just announced that these favorites are making a comeback.

What makes Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses so special? These treats blend the sweet taste of strawberry and the satisfying crunch of cookies, much like enjoying a strawberry ice cream cone on a sunny day. With each candy, you get a little taste of summer.

These Kisses were recently spotted at Target stores by Instagram’s candyhunting account, triggering excitement among fans. One candy enthusiast simply called the treats “Soooo good!” Others expressed their elation about the return of these Kisses, even sharing how they’ve been longing for them – with one fan admitting to paying a high price online last year just to get their hands on them.

Creative bakers might even consider chopping them up and using them in place of chocolate chips for baking. Imagine mixing them into strawberry shortcake cookies – mouthwatering, right?

And while these Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses have been seen on shelves, they weren’t yet available on Hershey’s website at the time of this news. Some fans have been quite vocal on the site, urging Hershey to make them available for purchase. “Bring these back! I dream about them! My favorite flavor by far!” exclaimed a passionate fan. Another suggested replacing the raspberry jam with strawberry and using the Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses in raspberry almond kiss cookies recipes for a twist on a classic.

It seems the lack of availability of these Kisses does indeed leave some people feeling a hint of heartbreak. But not to worry – a representative from Hershey stated that these Kisses “are rolling out to nationwide retailers now.”

The return of these limited-edition Kisses is just one of the many exciting things happening in the world of Hershey’s candy. Keep an eye on your local store shelves — your sweet summer dreams might be there waiting for you.

The Journey from Simple Chocolate to Seasonal Delights

Everything started from a man with a vision and a love for chocolate. Herhsey’s began over a century ago when Milton S. Hershey founded the Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894. Since they began, it didn’t take long for Hershey’s products to become a household name. In 1907, they introduced an absolute game-changing chocolate product: the Hershey’s Kiss. These distinct, flat-bottomed chocolate confection quickly became iconic. With its signature plume and simple silver foil, the Hershey’s Kiss won the hearts of chocolate lovers across the nation.

Over the years, Hershey’s has expanded its Kisses lineup to include an array of seasonal and limited-edition flavors, each wrapped in foil colors to match the occasion. From holidays to special seasons, Hershey’s Kisses have become more than just chocolates; they’re a part of American traditions and celebrations.

What Makes These Seasonal Treats a Must-Have?

Hershey’s Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses aren’t just any old seasonal chocolate; they’re a blend of nostalgic summer experiences packed into one little bite-sized treat. Their appeal comes from the combination of a sweet strawberry flavor and the crunch of cookie bits, giving fans a taste reminiscent of a cool strawberry ice cream cone on a bright, sunny day.

Long time fans have no problem expressing the love they have for these Kisses as seen on social media platforms and the comments sections on Hershey’s website. There’s excitement, longing, and even creativity sparked by the return of this chocolate. The idea of incorporating them into baked goods, like strawberry shortcake cookies, shows how versatile and inspirational these chocolates can be for those who love to create in the kitchen.

While initially difficult to purchase online, Hershey’s has since addressed the demand by just releasing them to retailers nationwide. This swift response to the complaints shows that Hershey’s values and listens to their customers, ensuring that the Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses are accessible to everyone longing for a sweet taste of summer.

Keep your eyes peeled the next time you’re at the store. Whether you’re a fan of the classic milk chocolate or you’ve been dreaming of the day Strawberry Ice Cream Cone Kisses would make their remarkable return, Hershey’s Kisses continue to be more than just candy — they’re a delicious part of life’s sweet moments.
