Hording!

Last year we discovered these wonderful candies. Candy corn flavored Hershey Kisses. They make the best cookies. The only prob.... is that there is only one store in which I have found these. Target. I went this year and bought 4 bags. I counted 60 kisses in a bag, so I figured out I could make 20 dozen of these before Halloween. They sell out fast and then they are impossible to get. (In fact, they were already gone at the Target that I went to). I won't even let the kids have any. Why are the good things always so hard to get?

The folks in our dinner group will be feasting on these beauties tonight. I have had many different variations of these Kiss Cookies, but this is the one Mom used to make. I will share the recipe. (Believe it or not, the candy- corn flavor really tastes good with the peanut butter in the cookies!) I like to make them and then freeze them before I cook them. (I swear they are softer this way!)
