Sealed With a Kiss
My friend Hannah found these Pumpin kisses at Target: 
I was immediately HOOKED and began looking for them everywhere. Apparently they are only sold at Target because every Duane Reade, CVS and grocery store in Manhattan didn’t have them in stock. But since I work in the hideous Times Square area, I have the HERSHEY’s store right by me and they too are selling them.
It’s such a creative invention for pumpkin lovers. They are a quite sweet with a creamy filling and they really do taste like pumpin spice. My friend Chris says he detects a hint of cinnamon. 
After eating these by the mouthful, I was thinking they would be good as a cookie (like the thumbprint cookies with chocolate kisses) or combined with chocolate (I love pumpkin w/ chocolate), so over the weekend I combined both ideas and made pumpkin kisses brownies. I simply used a brownie mix (sorry, Yamahomo, I’m sure that is unheard of in your kitchen!) and three minutes before they were done, I stuck the kisses into the batter. I probably put them in a little too soon as the tips of the kisses got a little toasty, however, the pumpkin/chocolate combo tasted pretty good, if I say so myself! Watch out Treats Truck!

I do find it a bit creepy that they don’t melt under the heat of the oven, but those were awesome brownies!
I love pumpkin foods this time of year too…I’ll be making pumpkin turkey chili this weekend. Messenger over some brownies, OK? :)
interesting — pumpkin turkey chili?? have the messenger bring me back a bowl when you get the brownies!
Those look wonderful. I love anything pumpkin. Wonder if I can find these…
