Clay Chocolate Kiss

Valentine’s Day is all about showing those closest to us how much we love them. And what more iconic symbol of this love is there than a HERSHEY’S KISS? This giant version of the signature candy is a fun project to make with your kids, and serves as a wonderful homemade gift to give a loved one this Valentine’s Day.

Materials Needed:

• Roll paper or plastic table cloth to cover tables (optional)
• Air dry clay (1-2 lbs.)
• 9" x 9" piece of tinfoil
• White paper cut into 3/4" x 11" strip
• Blue pen or colored pencil

Directions:

• To prepare, cover a table with paper or table cloth to protect the surface.
• Start by grabbing a softball size piece of clay.
• Roll the clay into a ball shape.
• Next, roll the clay back and forth on the table while pressing on one side to form the cone shape of the top of the Kiss.
• Then, tap the bottom of the clay on the table gently a few times to flatten, completing the Kiss shape.
• Setting the clay aside, take your 3/4" x 11" sheet of paper and use a blue pen or pencil to write the word "kisses" over and over, just like a real Hersey's Kiss wrapper.
• Lay the "kisses" paper strip on top of the clay so it is sticking out above the clay.
• Tear a sheet of tinfoil to approximately 9" x 9", large enough to cover the entire Kiss.
• Wrap up the Kiss, leaving the "kisses" strip sticking out the top.
• TaDa! You have created a perfect Valentine's Day gift!
