Our Early Review of the New Butterbeer Kisses

Late last year, we got word that Hershey would be teaming up with Warner Bros and the magical world of Harry Potter to bring us Butterbeer flavored Hershey Kisses via a mysterious listing that popped up on Walmart’s website. While details are still scarce, it sounds like Butterbeer Kisses will be officially available around Easter-time this year. But—thanks to CandyFunhouse—we were able to get our hands on the new Butterbeer Kisses a little bit early. Here’s the deal.

New Butterbeer Kisses!

Harry Potter Butterbeer Kisses

Pros: First and foremost, I am a sucker for great packaging and I’ve got to shout out the beautiful designs on the foil wrappers. There are three unique designs, each featuring different images from the world of Harry Potter. Diving into the Kisses themselves, they have a really fantastic, rich butterscotch flavor with a cream center that tastes a lot like how I imagine Butterbeer would taste. They are sweet without being too sweet. And it’s hard to stop eating them. I went through almost half a bag of these while working on this review!

Cons: I might be splitting hairs, but I’d love for there to be a little bit of spice in the cream—maybe a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. Overall, though, I don’t have any complaints! If you are a fan of butterscotch, you will love these.

Author’s note: In light of the creator of the series having some less than savory views that do not align with my own, I will be making a donation for the cost of this product to GLAAD.
