Ingredients
Scale
8oz bag nondairy chocolate chips
1 tsp vegan butter
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Add nondairy chocolate chips to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Place bowl in the microwave and heat in 30 second increments stirring after each. Continue until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vegan butter.
- Chill: Fit a plastic piping bag with a small to medium, round piping tip. Place a piece of strong tape over the tip to avoid leakage. Fill the bag with the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. You can turn down the top of the bag when doing this to ensure less of a mess. Once full, twist the top of the bag closed and seal with a rubber band. Place piping bag in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.
- Pipe: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Remove the piping bag from the fridge and remove the tape from the tip. Be careful as chocolate may start to spill out. If you find that the chocolate has hardened slightly in the tip use a toothpick to carve out the hardened portion. Begin piping the kisses by gently squeezing the bag of chocolate. You will want to squeeze harder when piping the bottom of the kiss and then squeeze lightly as you pull the bag up to get the signature “kiss” look. I found that I had to flip the bag over completely after piping each kiss to stop the flow of chocolate but find what works for you. Remember that the goal here isn’t perfection. Rustic-looking kisses are super cute!
- Chill: Once you have used up all of the chocolate and the kisses have been piped, place the baking sheet into the freezer to set for at least 15 minutes. Once kisses have set they can be transferred to an airtight container or bag that can be stored in the refrigerator.
Notes
*Prepared Kisses will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or can be frozen for up to 1 month.
*If piping isn’t your style, you can purchase a large chocolate chip mold to use instead. I had trouble fining one that truly resembled Hershey Kisses but you might have more luck!
