pumpkin spice cocoa on a broomstick

apparently, 
i live under a rock
or maybe
i don't go down the correct aisle at target
but
it took 2 different posts, from food blogging friends
for me to understand
that there is something in the store called
pumpkin pie spiced kisses
by hershey
and it got me thinking
was a huge crowd pleaser during the cold snap of winter
maybe
i should do something similar with the pumpkin pie kisses
so i present to you
pumpkin spice cocoa on a broomstick
(printable recipe)
this is great in a hot cup of milk, but also really lights up a strong cup of coffee
mmmm scrumptious
1 bag hershey pumpkin spice kisses--unwrapped
3/4 cup white chocolate
1/4 cup powdered sugar
additional white chocolate for dipping (optional)
melt the kisses and white chocolate in the microwave for 20 seconds. give it a good stir and then put in microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it is melted and smooth. do not overheat. you do not want the chocolate to get hot.  the heat of the bowl will eventually warm and melt the chocolate. have a bit of patience...it will serve you well in the taste and the set up of the chocolate.  add the powdered sugar and stir until smooth.  pour chocolate mixture into small molds, ice cube tray, mini-muffin tins, or paper cups, and insert a wooden stick, or candy stick, or straw. it is really up to you.  place in refrigerator to set up.  once firm, remove from refrigerator and molds and keep as is, or dip in chocolate.  stir into hot milk or strong coffee for a delightful pumpkin spice treat.
