Hershey’s Lava Cake Kisses are back! Please find our review below:
For some, love is a friendship that caught fire. For others, it is compassion without judgment or blame.
For people like me, love is an explosive Hershey’s Kiss with a gooey chocolate center.
This isn’t the first time Hershey’s Kisses have exploded in our mouths, BUT to my recollection it is the first time it blasted from a dark chocolate shell.
As a MAJOR Valentine’s release for the brand, Hershey’s Lave Cake Kisses are available at almost all the best places you can find love (Walmart, Target, CVS…your run-down local grocer…).
I’ve always considered Hershey’s dark chocolate considerably superior to their milk chocolate, and Lava Cake Kisses are a good showcase for that.
Plus, dark chocolate is always sexier than milk, and these Kisses set the mood just right.
Man, the gooey chocolate center is such a simple but effective game-changer. What I like most about it is that it’s supremely chocolatey without being cloying. It’s reasonably thick and has more of a chocolate fudge flavor than anything, but it’s a tad sweeter than the dark chocolate backdrop it rests in. The contrast in chocolates is a good thing.
Not to mention, it’s supremely satisfying to go from a crisp dark chocolate texture right into a soft, succulent center. When you really think about it, lava cake is just a firestorm of chocolate and so are these Hershey’s Lava Cake Kisses.
I heated one up in the microwave just for the hell of it, and it was like a stupider, messier, hotter brownie batter.
Kudos to Hershey’s for not overcomplicating this, like every Valentine’s date I’ve ever had.
It was a wildly disappointing night, that one time.
