#1,669: Hershey Kiss Pies

Chloe is going to be having a cookie exchange with her girl scout troop and I was trying to find a recipe to make that she could pretty much do with (or without me).  I found this recipe that only requires two ingredients, refrigerated pie crust and hershey kisses.  You could use any flavor of hershey kisses but Chloe decided to use regular milk chocolate ones (although I think caramel, mint, or almond would be awesome!!).  

As you can see in the top photo these are pretty cute...when they turn out!  But as you can see from the photo below, MOST of our did not stay together and unwrapped.  Still taste good, but not something I would give away or serve to guests.

If you do make these though, make sure you go check out the original recipe to photo instructions on how to fold these up.  

1 refrigerated pie crust, thawed
14 Hershey Kisses of choice
1 egg white whisked with 1 Tbsp water
Powdered sugar for dusting
Granulated sugar for sprinkling before baking

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Roll out pie dough onto a lightly floured counter top.  Use a biscuit cutter to cut circles out of the pie crust.  You should be able to get about 14 circles if you re-roll the scraps. 

Place an unwrapped Hershey kiss in the middle of each circle.  Fold half of pie dough around top of dough and pinch edge around top of kiss.  Now, fold up both sides of remaining dough up to the tip of the kiss pinching edge. 

Brush all little pies with an egg white wash then sprinkle with granulated sugar.  At 350 degrees, bake for 20-28 minutes or until little pies are golden.  Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.  Dust each with powdered sugar and serve.
