Peanut Butter Kisses: Recipes At My Table

Christmas time for me involves chocolate. My nonna Emilia’s favourite chocolate bar was made by Hershey’s and today my Peanut Butter Kisses will host one Hershey kiss on top of each. I like the creaminess and texture of this chocolate brand. The Hershey Chocolate Company was established in 1894. The first Hershey Kisses were made in 1907. All my children are Hershey Chocolate Kiss lovers. When my eldest was a baby, her Polish Puppi kept a bag of Hershey’s in the apartment. He would shake it from different rooms in the apartment and she would go running. She would run bag with chocolate running down her mouth. LOL

What can you make with chocolate??

Chocolate is used in sweet and savoury. My friend once made a chocolate gravy for turkey which was exquisite. There is also a rich chocolate chipotle sauce for steak and I love using chocolate in salads along with fruit and nuts. How about a mole sauce? This versatile Mexican sauce jazzes up any meat dish. Don’t be afraid to use your chocolate in other cooking besides baking. As for me, a good piece of chocolate in sweet or savoury takes me back to sitting with my nonna Emilia.
