I've recently gone through my baking store cupboard, to check if any items are nearing their use-by date. And found some Hershey's Kisses and Crunchie (honeycomb choc) bars.
There are odd other items, but I wanted to use these up first. I had thought perhaps to do cookies, or pop them into a tray of brownies or cupcakes, but couldn't face eating any of those things. Then I remembered a traybake I'd done in the past that used Crunchie's and was divine. So I removed all the wrappers and got the chocolate ready to melt.
And the long and the short of it is, these Kisses don't really melt very well. But I didn't learn that until a little too late. If you look closely at the next image, you may see a little evidence on the top layer of the slice, where it seems to have separated slightly. Nevermind, these were for us and it didn't affect the taste at all, agreed by the external taste-testers (non Team Becca). Yummy!
True, they don't melt well, BUT if you stick them on top of warm peanut butter cookies (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peanut-butter-kiss-cookies/) or inside "secret" cookies (where the hershey kiss is hidden inside), this becomes an advantage! You traybake looks very yummy, though.
