Hershey’s Kisses has unveiled a new flavor for Valentine’s Day, and chocoholics are sure to love it

As a holiday, Valentine’s Day can be hit or miss. If you’re in a new relationship, the first one can be amazing. If you have no one to celebrate with, it can be depressing. And, of course, if you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with the same person you’ve been celebrating with for years, you might even forget about it altogether.

But one thing we can all agree on is that Valentine’s Day is full of some seriously delicious treats. Even if you’re sitting at home watching Valentine’s Day movies on the Hallmark Channel (yes, those exist), can you really be upset if you’ve got some fabulous dessert?

Luckily, the No. 1 sweet treat for the holiday doesn’t even require any effort on your part — it’s candy, of course! This year, Hershey’s is taking it up a notch and giving us a brand-new Hershey Kiss flavor that is perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Now in stores for a limited time, Hershey’s new dark chocolate Lava Cake Kisses cost around $3.89 a bag and are filled with a melted cocoa center — just like a lava cake! I had the chance to taste them and can say for sure that not only do they taste like lava cake, but they smell like it too.

If you are up for making an actual cake for the romantic holiday, however, Hershey’s has a lava cake recipe that actually includes the kisses for an extra-special lava treat! Check out the recipe below:
