Sharing my Kiss Pies using Hershey Kisses! Easy dessert recipes are my favorite, this one is so much fun with just a few ingredients!
With the Holidays approaching, I’ve got such a fun little pie to share with you today that really couldn’t get any easier. I am talking 2 main ingredients!
I decided to use the rest of my Mint truffle Kisses, but ANY Hershey kiss will work beautifully here. Go grab your favorite flavor and get baking! You are really going to love these, they are adorable and you can pop em’ right in your mouth 🙂
Hope you enjoy! Be sure to follow Picky Palate on Instagram to see sneak peeks of what’s coming soon to the blog!
Kiss Pie Ingredients
Here you have it, some refrigerated pie crust and any Hershey Kisses 🙂
I used these bad boys!
Unroll your pie crust after it’s been thawed and place the first group your kisses around like so.
You’ll cut a 2 1/2- 3 inch circle for each kiss. Does NOT have to be perfect. A few of mine were different sizes and they were all great.
How To Make Kiss Pies
You’ll brush a light egg wash over each little pie….
….and sprinkle with sugar. Try not to dump it on like it shows on my picture 🙂
Here they are, I seriously love these! Ready to bake!
Hope you enjoy!
Kiss Pies
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust thawed
- 14 Hershey Kisses of choice I used Mint Truffle today 🙂
- 1 egg white whisked with 1 Tbsp water
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling before baking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out pie dough onto a lightly floured counter top. Place 10 kisses around the edges of pie dough, about 2 1/2 inches apart (as in the photo above). Take a knive and cut a 2 1/2-3 inch circle around kiss. Fold half of pie dough around top of dough and pinch edge around top of kiss. (See Photo, step 1). Now, fold up both sides of remaining dough up to the tip of the kiss pinching edge. (See Photo, step 2). Now press together edges and form criss cross as shown in photo, step 3. * *Continue cutting dough around kisses until all dough is used up. I got about 14 rounds cut when I re-rolled my scraps :)**
- Brush all little pies with an egg white wash then sprinkle with granulated sugar. At 350 degrees, bake for 20-28 minutes or until little pies are golden. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Dust each with powdered sugar and serve.

You can also use a cookie cutter for the circles if you have one 🙂 -much easier.
These looked SO good. I went ahead and tried them today. While it satisfied my sweet tooth, I don’t think they were quite as savory as I was imagining. I cooked them for 15 min and even then I felt the chocolate tasted dry and crumbling instead of melted. It may have been something with my oven though. They did have a great aesthetic appeal, and I might make them to give away at some point. Perhaps I might want to try another type of kiss, as the plain chocolate ended up tasting…plain. Thanks for the idea, though!
These would work the same with homemade pie crust right?
This looks fabulous…and so easy to do. Not a mint fan here, so I’ll use the regular Kisses or the chocolate/caramel ones.
I did the caramel ones as well. It would be good to mention up top they will leak. Have you lowered the temp or anything to get them to ooze less. Thanks though; I really like these and will try them again.
Can these be frozen? Thinking of making these for a wedding. If not for wedding then for me!!
This recipe looks amazing I can’t wait to try it. I tried this at home this is really nice.
So glad to hear it!!
Can you make these ahead of time and store them. Or would they be better made right befor you eat them. I am planning to have them at a wedding rehearsal? Wanted to make a day a head.
Hi Alma, They are best made right before you eat them. I’ve tried them both ways and there’s a big difference.
Have you ever tries using chocolate chips? I found a link on Pinterest on my PHONE and it looked like chocolate chips! So I’m gonna give it a whirl! Thy will be mini!!
This is a great idea. I think I will try these with my niece who is visiting from Tennessee.
Beautiful kiss pie cookies! I’m making these today too….. putting these on pinterest.
Just made these – super yummy and very easy! I would just suggest that you make sure your pie crusts are very well sealed when you put them in the oven, because a couple of mine weren’t and they split right open.
Ok, I feel dumb, but I tried these tonight and the chocolate kiss didn’t melt in the middle! The pie crust was super crunchy (not delicious flaky) and the kiss kept its shape and didn’t mush down all perfect 🙁 What did I do wrong?!
I just wanna say that I’m amazed that a lot of the readers have leftover KISSES. I didn’t know there was such! 🙂
I featured this recipe today on my blog at richestoragsbydori.blogspot.com. Please check out my blog and hopefully you will like the other recipes too. Hope this brings you lot of traffic.
Thank you for sharing ~ I can hardly wait to try making them soon!!!
I am going to make these for Valentine’s treats. Do you bake them on a greased cookie sheet, or ungreased? Thanks!
Sorry Picky Palate not my favorite 🙁
These are so cute! Saw them on a friend’s Pinterest, then tracked them back to you – so clever! Will definitely make some 🙂
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I featured these today on my Valentines Day sweet post. They look delicious. 🙂

I am pinning this awesome recipe on my Pinterest site but I am so jealous of the little forks!!! I WANT those!!! hahaha
I loved this idea! I made them with regular Kisses and they didn’t melt so well. I will have to try with the flavored ones. But I did use the pie pocket and added a little twist of my own.
Please come by and check it out.

Don’t mind the blog, it’s a work in progress 🙂
how do you store these?
Your creativity amazes me! These are the cutest
We made these today, great idea, thanks!
Question. When baking these cute pies. I don’t have a pad that is pictured. Can I use parchment paper or bake on ungreased pan?
Just made these tonight, used the mint and candy cane kisses, these are Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
My 7 year old helped me make these a few minutes ago. They turned out very good with the exception of a few that opened up. We made half mint truffle kisses and half special dark. Pretty tasty!
I would use a glass for a cookie cutter. If I store these overnight, do I need to refridgerate them?
I tried to thaw frozen pie crusts for this, but they just fell apart. Looks like you really do need the refrigerated ones.
These look yummy and with so many kinds of kisses these days you could make quite a variety.
I shared the link on my facebook page
Just made these with cherry cordial kisses and they were divine!!
My first batch is in the oven right now. They are destined for a potluck, but I can see we’ll have to destroy ;o) a couple of prototypes that I did not seal well enough. They are unfolding as they cook.
Alright so i’m pretty sure i’m the only guy that’s gotten on here and attempted to make these… Somehow the kisses didn’t melt for us? If anyone’s got ideas on what i could’ve done wrong let me know! in my head i had pictured biting into the pie and having chocolate ooze out the sides… 🙁
I just made these last night with the mint kisses and loved them. Love your blog!
I won’t be making these again. Like some other people who have tried these, majority of my edges came undone. Waste of time and money on my part. Hopefully others will have better luck.
Maybe you left them in a bit too long? Perhaps you could try pushing them together with a fork next time. Don’t get up until you try a few different things.
Ohh You may even want to make your circle a little bigger so it isn’t such a tight fit. 🙂 I hope you won’t give up!
I made mine with a little bit bigger circle and had better luck.. and once I pinched everything up I gave it a real good squeeze in the middle to hold everything together. They weren’t too pretty but they held up!
