Roses!! Who doesn't love roses?? Here is a rose you can make and keep forever! Below are the instructions on how to make a Candy Kiss Rose!
Materials needed:
Hershey's Kisses
Double-sided tape (optional)
Colored cellophane, cut into 4 1/2-inch squares
18-guage florist wire (cut in two equal lengths with wire cutters to get more roses per pack, or make long-stemmed rosebuds if you desire)
Green florist tape
Silk rose leaves (optional)
Ribbon (optional)
Tools needed:
Scissors (to cut the cellophane into squares)
Wire cutters (to cut the wires in half, or trim the rose stems after they are made)
Instructions:
1. Optional first step: Using a small square of the double-sided tape, stick two foil-wrapped Hershey's Kisses together, bottom to bottom. (This isn't strictly necessary, but it helps some folks handle the kisses while wrapping.)
2. Take a four 1/2-inch square of cellophane. Place the tip of one of the kisses in the center of the square, then wrap the cellophane around both kisses, gathering the corners together around the tip of the other kiss. Wrap the gathered corners together as tightly as you can without tearing the florist tape.
3. Insert a florist wire into the gathered cellophane until it meets the tip of the Hershey's Kiss. (DO NOT push the wire into the chocolate! Many people have written to me to tell me that this makes the rosebud easier to make, but there is a good reason not to do this. Florist wire is not "food safe," and toxic substances from the paint and metal of the wire can contaminate the chocolate and make it unsafe to eat. Please be sure that when you make your rosebuds that the wire and the chocolate do not actually come in direct contact)
4. Tape the "rosebud" onto the wire with the florist tape. Continue taping down the length of the wire until it is completely covered.
