party pack complete with all the necessary ingredients to throw the
ultimate cookie exchange. The sweet party packs will include: three
bags of Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates and a free coupon
for Pillsbury® Peanut Butter Cookie Dough to create easy-to-bake
Peanut Butter Blossom cookies. Also included is a Hershey’s Kisses
Chocolates 2010 calendar, a Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates cookie jar
for the host and new and classic recipe cards for guests to create
their very own Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates recipe book.
SIMPLE TIPS FOR SWEET
SUCCESS
Check out these great tips from www.kissescookies.com for a
successfully sweet holiday party:
- Invite guests at least two weeks
in advance and ask all guests to RSVP with the cookie recipe they
plan to bring to the party.
- Give suggestions or include a
unique recipe on every invitation in case guests don’t have a
favorite recipe they would like to share. Ask invitees to bring
printed recipe copies, a plastic container for taking home treats
and a half-dozen or one-dozen cookies for each attendee, depending
on the number of guests.
- Return the favor by turning the
cookie exchange into a gifting party – provide gift tags, gift bags
and ribbons, and invite guests to assemble cookie gifts for
co-workers, neighbors, teachers and friends.
