don’t mess with the bakers.
bakers are complaining that something is amiss with hershey’s kisses.the chocolate candy’s trademark tips have been mysteriously missing from batches around the country. they have taken to social media to complain that the lopped-off tops are ruining the look of their holiday treats. without their points, the chocolate candies are left with flat tops.
the hershey company responded to the disgruntled bakers after hearing of a facebook post by the wedding cookie table community group that detailed the problem. company spokesman jeff beckman says they’re reviewing the issue. beckman says hershey has donated baking items to the group as a thank you for pointing out the issue. the candy company has yet to explain what’s causing the missing tips.

you are very right, and they all taste delicious. their complaint was more about the look of their cookies before someone ate them

Did the Hershey people look in the front teeth of the factory workers, Beth? That would be my first point of investigation …

My daughter got a bag of topless kisses and the cookies looked awful. It’s been said they did to to save money because every little tip counts but I don’t know if that’s true. I do know that we aren’t buying them anymore. They still didn’t say if they are going to put the tips back on. If they don’t they surely won’t be saving money, they just be stuck with bags of kisses sitting on shelves.
