The creator of Hershey’s chocolate, Milton Hershey had a love for sweets and confectioneries from childhood till he founded The Hershey Company in 1894 and beyond. The iconic Hershey’s Kisses that we know today were first produced in 1907 and now have special place in history and all of our childhoods.

But where did the name Hershey’s Kisses come from? Most claim that the name comes from the sound the machine used to make while manufacturing each individual cone.

Quite literally a kiss goodbye from the Hershey’s factory all the way to our homes!
