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.

Harry Potter Butter Beer Kisses

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.

  • “tastes a lot like how I imagine Butterbeer would taste”? so readers still have no idea if it actually tastes like butterbeer since you haven’t actually had butterbeer? There are no spices in butterbeer so if there was any in these kisses then it wouldn’t taste like butterbeer.

  • Wow, I never thought about the donation angle… brilliant. I give way too much of my money to a person who has horrible views and never thought of this! Literally am in Universal, right now, dining at thr 3 Broomsticks… think when I get home a donation to the Trevor Project is called for.

      • Why do y’all homophobes talk sooo much about sodomy? Is that all you think about?

  • Thank you for the note. If this product had been manufactured a decade ago, I’d have been planning a “treasure hunt” looking for these, but now? Both Hershey and (especially!) JK can suck it.

  • Ugh! as a gay man myself what TF does this candy have to do with your views? JK Rowling told absolutely NO LIES! I don’t agree with all this ridiculous trans bs! If you weren’t born with a vagina between your legs no amount of money or surgery will ever make you a woman! End of discussion, PERIOD! to think I came here for a candy review and instead I get an unsolicited political opinion.

      • Nothing’s being “shoved in your face”. Why do you all talk about sodomy so much??
        And why is it considered “getting political” any time someone isn’t the usual white/hetero combo?

      • I’ve seen sodomy mentioned exactly three times, all by you! What are you talking about!

      • Every homophobe in this comment section is talking about it, Phil; you sound uneducated.

  • I’ll never visit your site again since you have such a problem with truth, apparently. J. K. Rowling is a wonderful lady who has the courage to stand up in the face of absolute insanity. Nobody cares about your opinions anyways and I have no idea how I even ended up here. Everything was okay until you had to make it political. No thanks!

    • you made it political, he simply stated he wasn’t a fan of the creators views so he made a donation to offset his purchase, never mentioned what the views were, but you all got triggered like the little snowflakes you are
