I need a cauldronful of this Harry Potter chocolate.
When I think of Harry Potter, I find my mind wandering to Hogsmeade and Honeydukes. Fudge flies, pumpkin pasties, sugar quills and cauldron cake—you name it, they had it! 8-year-old me couldn’t stop thinking about all the candy I’d never have from the Wizarding World. But luckily, the Muggle world has one thing in common with Harry Potter’s universe: chocolate! And now, our sweets-loving worlds have officially collided in the most magical way.
Someone stop the trolley because Hershey’s is now making Harry Potter chocolate!
Accio, Harry Potter Hershey’s Kisses
This might be the most amazing thing to happen to Muggles yet. Each bag contains the Hershey Kiss chocolate you know and love with new Harry Potter flair. With every kiss you get an HP-themed wrapper with a nostalgic and magical message from the Harry Potter books. Some messages include, “Yer a wizard, Harry,” and the Gryffindor house symbol and colors.
Not only are these Kisses delicious to the last bite, but they’re chock-full of that childhood we hold so dear.
Most folks on Instagram are elated with the new Kisses and can’t wait to try them! And yes, @snackolator is teasing Hershey bars in addition to the Kisses, but we haven’t been able to confirm their availability yet.
The magical chocolates have already been spotted at retailers like Michael’s, as well as being available on Instacart and online at Candy Funhouse. We hope to see the Kisses soon at some larger retailers as the Halloween season creeps closer. All I know is, if you find a bag, you better put it under your invisibility cloak so no one steals it! Harry wouldn’t want it any other way.
