Candy Number 21

Number 21: Hershey Kisses
Hershey Kisses are definitely a favorite. Produced by (duh) Hershey, these favorite little bit size candies came out in 1907. The machines that produce them came wrap 1,300 in a minute! Also, interesting fact, Hershey doesn't even really know where the name "Hershey Kisses" came from.

A bit of history;
Hershey Kisses were actually hand-wrapped  until 1921, when they started using machines.They are wrapped in aluminum foil, with a piece of paper coming out of the top. Some flavors include; Milk Chocolate, Carmel, Truffle, Coconut Creme, Peanut Butter, (my favorite) Candy Cane, etc. There actually used to be a brand called Hershey Kissables, a smaller version, but they were discontinued.
