Sweetheart Roses

Candy and flowers are a surefire way to let someone know you're sweet
on them. These pretty pink roses made from chocolate kisses will cover
you on both scores.
(Takes under an hour)

Supplies

Chocolate kisses
Pink plastic wrap
Green tape
Scotch tape
Green pipe cleaners
Green tissue paper

Step 1: Form the bud by taping two foil-wrapped candies bottom to
        bottom. Drape a 5-inch square of pink plastic wrap over the
        top of one kiss, then gather the edges and twist them into a
        tail.

Step 2: Tightly twist the top of a green pipe cleaner around the tail
        for the stem. Then add leaves by holding a strip of green
        tissue paper against the stem and rolling the pipe cleaner
        around the center of the strip.

Step 3: Trim the leaves so that they have pointy tips, and wrap green
        tape around the stem portion above the leaves to reinforce it.
