GOOD TASTES.


PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE KISSES

If you're a fancier of peanut butter and chocolate, now you can get your fix in bite-size Hershey's Kisses Hershey's Kisses are a type of chocolate candy manufactured by The Hershey Company. The bite-sized pieces of chocolate have a distinctive shape: people normally describe them as flat-bottomed teardrops.  Milk Chocolates filled with Peanut Butter. Recently introduced into the kisses line by the Hershey Co., look for them in stores in 8.5- or 11-ounce bags with a suggested retail price of $2.39 and $2.99, respectively. They're delicious (but don't have as prominent a peanut butter flavor as you find in peanut butter cups), but we'd think they'd taste great and would give them a whirl atop the classic peanut butter blossom cookies instead of plain milk chocolate kisses.

Frankly, if I had a choice, I'd opt for the caramel-filled kisses over these.

PACKAGED RED MASHED POTATOES n. pl. 1. Potatoes which have been boiled and mashed to a pulpy consistency, usu. with sparing addition of milk, salt, butter, or other flavoring. It is a popular accompaniment to a meat course [U.S., 1900's], providing bulk and calories to a meal.  DEBUT

Idahoan Foods Idahoan Foods is a company based in Lewisville, Idaho, founded in 1960, and specialized in the production of instant mashed potatoes, which they sell under the brand Idahoan Mashed Potatoes. They employ about 500 people at the height of their highly seasonal production cycle.  just introduced Baby Reds to its line of flavored mashed potatoes. A combination of red potatoes with skins and russets along with butter and natural and artificial flavorings, preparation and cooking takes less than 10 minutes. All you have to add is 2 cups water for the 4.1-ounce package, which makes 4 (12-cup) servings with 110 calories per serving, 2.5 grams fat and 21 grams carbohydrate. Suggested retail price is 99 cents per package.

While the idea sounded good, the prepared potatoes were disappointing. They had an awful, unappealing artificial butter smell and taste and hardly any pieces of red skin - and even after trying to doctor them up with butter and cream, we would never serve them.

If you're in a bind at holiday time and want to save time, opt to use packaged plain Potato Buds and doctor them up with real butter and whipping cream Noun 1. whipping cream - cream that has enough butterfat (30% to 36%) to be whipped
light whipping cream

cream - the part of milk containing the butterfat
. Or better yet, just cook potatoes (pierced with a knife) in the microwave oven and make mashed potatoes from scratch. You won't be sorry!
