No.
Nor does it sound festive for Hubby or anyone else for that matter to take to their work potluck or cookie swap. It also doesn't help one cook use up not one bag of Hershey's kisses, but two which she bought on sale at Costco.

The original recipe uses shortening but I use butter or margarine with the same results. I can't remember the last time I bought actual shortening. It also says to use coffee liqueur or milk but I think Kahlua would be great. What I thought was a small bottle in our refrigerator door turned out to be Irish Cream and I don't think that would work with my flavour combination. It uses instant coffee but be aware if you are sensitive to caffeine that may be an issue. I didn't want a whole container of instant coffee so I bought a tin of Maxwell House Café Suisse Mocha. I'd also think it would be interesting to play around with tea flavours in this recipe but I'll save that for another season. You don't have to fret over what flavour of Hershey's Kisses to pick up. I used the Sugar Cookie flavour and I think the Candy Cane flavour would be excellent as well. Just stay away from the ones that have the soft centers.
I won't regale you with how I baked these while the snow was gently falling and the Christmas tree was twinkling away. Instead, it was a regular Saturday evening two weeks before Christmas and my back was sore from a rather hectic shopping trip to Costco.
