How to Make the Hershey Kiss Topiary

Materials Needed:

1. Styrofoam topiary form (available at most craft stores)
2. Clay or plastic flower pot
3. 2 yards of one inch wide ribbon
4. Spanish Moss
5. 2 (13 oz.) bags HERSHEY'S KISSES brand chocolates Spring Colors
6. Glue ( low heat gun, non-toxic craft glue, glue stick or confectioner's glue)
7. Toothpicks
8. Aluminum Foil

Assembly:

• Place the Styrofoam topiary base into a clay or plastic flower pot.
• Cover both ball shapes with aluminum foil. Cover each ball shape with spring colored HERSHEY'S KISSES brand chocolates by gluing the flat end of the HERSHEY'S KISS brand chocolate to topiary. With remaining HERSHEY'S KISSES brand chocolates, fill in gaps by inserting a toothpick in the side of a HERSHEY'S KISS brand chocolate and inserting the other end into the foam ball. Alternate colors and angles.
• Complete by covering top of foam base with Spanish moss and tie a ribbon bow around both sections of the stem. Sprinkle extra HERSHEY'S KISSES brand chocolates on the table surface like falling petals, and let your guest sample your artwork.
• Finished Size: 16" tall.
