Hawaii's Mac Nut Hershey's Kisses


Over the past year, I found this to be another favorite omiayge gift to bring back to the mainland: Hershey's Mac Nut Chocolate Kisses. The best part...The little thin white wrapper tucked inside each kiss > the paper that usually bears the company's name > here reads,"Aloha!" How cool is that?! Now that's a special treat!
Where it's at:
Walmart (in the MacNut section, not chocolate candy section), $4.95/bag
Costco: in the local goodies section by the check out lines, $10.95/large bag
Longs: doesn't always have it in stock
