The iconic Hershey’s Kisses are delicious in its chocolate simplicity. As the silver foil gives way to that candy, the pure enjoyment always delights. With the newest flavor offering, the food brand heads to the cereal aisle. Hershey's Kisses Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the game changer that people cannot wait to unwrap.
Over the years, Hershey’s Kisses has transformed its classic flavor in various ways. Who doesn’t remember the Milklicious Kisses or the Chocolate Covered Strawberry offerings at Valentine’s Day. The innovative flavor combinations take inspiration from food trends, pop culture moments, and culinary creativity.
Recently, people have been craving more flavor mashups. Across the grocery store aisles, the crossovers are many. Sweet, savory, and everything in between have infused their ingredients and brand power into the special offerings.
The reason way food mashups work is that people are drawn to and crave the familiar. At the same time, they want excitement. People are more likely to purchase that new food when it is rooted in something familiar.
The Hershey's Kisses Cinnamon Toast Crunch will be an instant hit. As Katie DeCapria, senior brand manager at The Hershey Company, explained, "Unexpected crossovers are having a moment, and we're delivering a Hershey's Kisses flavor combo no one saw coming — but everyone will want to try. Hershey's Kisses have always been a go-to for sweet moments, and now, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor will make memories even more unforgettable."
While many people will happily enjoy these candies on their own, they lend themselves to some creative applications. For example, adding a few of these flavored Kisses to the center of a chocolate cake would make for a lovely cinnamon-lava moment. Even if the cake was vanilla versus chocolate, the combination would be delicious.
Also, swapping these flavored Kisses for a classic chocolate in a Thumbprint cookie would be amazing. The combination of cinnamon and peanut butter is exciting. Even a shortbread with the sweet cinnamon would be a new take on a snickerdoodle.
The Hershey's Kisses Cinnamon Toast Crunch are available now in 9 oz shareable bags. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
