Tea Time with Kisses


Hi friends,

Even though it is Tea Time Tuesday I have decided it really is a hot cocoa kind of day.  Can I do that?  I love hot cocoa on a cold winter's day!  It is hot, it is chocolate and it is sweet!  What isn't there to love about it  :-)

It gets even better with marshmallows on top!  My teddy mug is from Mikasa.


This Hershey's Kisses Sweetheart Basket set is by Longaberger.  Isn't this the "sweetest" basket?  A few years ago Longaberger and Hershey teamed up to create this adorable kiss basket!


Let's take a peek at what we have inside ...


Oh my, more Hershey Kisses!  I may or may not have melted one or two of those kisses in my mug, but you won't tell.

I think the basket tie-on looks like a real piece of candy.  I can hardly tell the difference.


Thank you for joining me today for cocoa.  Now I'm off to find the marshmallow Cheops ran off with - bad kitty!  I'm linking this week with the following ladies:

Hi Donna,
such a literally sweet post! Hmmmm, Marshmallows in the cocoa sounds gooood and Hershew kisses, melted in the drink, sounds even better. The basket looks really nice. In the beginning I couldn't figure out, what it is. It seemed like a neclace with the brown Hershey kiss as pendant and the silver little ones as pearl strings. But a basket full of Hersheys is trula a jewlery for itself. And "who let the cat in?"
Best greetings, Johanna

Hi Donna,
What a 'sweet' post! I love Hershey's Kisses and I like to indulge in one or two a day to get my chocolate fix! Your cocoa looks good in your cute mug and the Hershey kiss basket is very cute as well! Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea today.

Blessings,
Sandi

I much prefer hot cocoa to tea. Mmmm. Looks soooo good in that sweet teddy bear mug. You definitely have the fixins for every occasion.

Love the chocolate, but it's really strange that I am not a fan of hot cocoa. Weird, huh? The cup is precious, though.

Awh, how cute is that! I got to tour the Hershey's factory (moc up) in PA and got a new appreciation for Hershey's kisses! You have all you want!! That looks good- think I'll have to make one too!

I have one of the mugs just like yours! The basket is so unusual with its lid looking just like the top of a kiss.♥♫
