Supplies for “Chocolate Roses”

  1. Hershey’s Kisses
  2. wooden skewers
  3. floral tape
  4. glue dots
  5. red cellophane

Supplies for chocolate roses (hershey kisses, bamboo skewers, glue dots, cellophane)

Directions:

Fasten two kisses bottom to bottom with a glue dot.

Hershey Kisses

Wrap a 5″ X 5″ piece of cellophane around the kisses.

Wrapping Hershey Kisses in red cellophane paper

Place wooden skewer in the middle of the cellophane next to the Hershey’s Kisses.

Wrapping Hershey Kisses in Cellophane

Starting just under the chocolate “bud” begin wrapping floral tape around the cellophane and all the way down the skewer. Slightly stretch the floral tape as you wrap.

Wrapping chocolate roses with floral tape

The floral tape is sticky and should stay fastened but to make it really secure finish off with a dab of glue or a glue dot.

To make the roses extra special cut a leaf shape out of green card-stock and write a little note to mom! Fasten the leaves by wrapping them on the stem with a bit more floral tape.
