Boy, already Wednesday evening. This Fall Break is flying around here.
Have you all seen these crazy new Pumpkin Spice “kisses” from Hershey’s?They are fantastic and the second I heard about them I knew I had to have them.The trick is not eating them all before you bake with them.
I decided to make a fun fall cookie with my new kisses. These are just like those peanut blossoms we all know and love, but with great fall pumpkin flavors. Now, I don’t know if we can all handle the 4 ingredients it takes to make these so brace yourselves for some slaving in the kitchen. No, seriously you can have these done from start to finish in about 15 minutes! Woo Hoo, I love cake mix cookies and kisses!
Alright, I think I’m a little sleep deprived today. One more thing, go find yourselves some nice sanding sugar, it’s a bit bigger than granulated sugar and makes a big difference. I got mine at Michaels, a craft store, in the cake decorating section. I know William Sonoma carries some too. It makes for a perfect crunchy coating, definitely a must!!
Don’t they have “Fall” written all over them? Thank you Inside Hershey Blog for the great photo.
Pumpkin Spice Blossoms
Ingredients
- 1 Spice Cake Mix 18.25 oz
- 14 oz can Libby’s Pumkin
- ½ cup sanding sugar
- 1 bag Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer beat the cake mix and pumpkin until well combined, about 45 seconds. With a cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll top half in sanding sugar (dough is sticky) then place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until cooked through. Quickly transfer to a cooling rack and immediately press kisses into the center of each cookie. I immediately place cooling rack into the fridge for 15 minutes so the kisses don’t melt. I tried both ways and it melts down if just left at room temperature. Enjoy!

Nope he’s not in my front yard, I wish!
Oh my I WANT THE PUMPKIN SPICE KISSES!!! Sigh. I have only seen the caramel apple ones here. Drats.
WoW! I will be scouring the stores for these candies & will be making these in the extreme near future!
Mmmm, pumpkin stuff. Heh, my girlfriend heard about those kisses and she’s on a mission to get some now.
Lol! Is that pumpkin butt yours?
4 ingredients? Uff Jenny, you’re pushing it here, lol! They look adorable and I’m sure they are the perfect Autum bite. A bite and a kiss, that works for me!
I’ve seen these kisses, but haven’t tried them yet. And I love cake mix cookies – and these look like so much fun!!
I haven’t seen the kisses yet, but I’ll sure keep my eyes open for them. The cookies look fantastic.
These look good, though I’m not much of a baker I think I’ll try them:)
I’m going to attempt bread in the bread machine today though, hopefully I’ll fare better with that.
These are a must for fall. You are so right Jenny that they have fall written all over them. I am going to get my girls to help me, but I know they will eat them as fast as we can make them
Wow the products they come out with. I’ll be on the look out for the pumpkin spice kisses. Can’t wait to try your cookies!

I noticed they had some decorating sugar at Wal-Mart. Not sure if it’s the same thing.
These cookies look amazing. I can’t wait to look for pumpkin kisses.
These are the prettiest little fall cookies I’ve ever seen! Have you seen my Flagstaff update yet???
Jenny a new door has opened! I have yet to try mint M&M's and now a new treat pops up! Wowser I am going to have to track these baby's down! What a brilliant use for them to, in your cookies! Have a wonderful fall! (I love the pumpkin scarecrow too!)
I haven’t seen these kisses yet! Have you had the Hot Chocolate Kisses? They are very yummy! Super rich flavor. I bet those cookies taste as good as they look!
I love those pumpkin spice kisses. I have my whole office addicted to them.
You bet I will be making these! Thank you so much for the recipe!
I can’t wait to try these pumpkin kisses, and I love that photo at the end. I have a whole folder of similar pictures stashed away on my computer! You’ve just reminded me about them. Can’t wait to use them!

I hear you Sharon,
We had some left after making the cookies and they didn’t last long around here!
I need to be on the lookout for these pumpkin kisses! Although, come to think of it, I’ll probably end up eating the whole bag.
Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t heard about these kisses!! I’ll be on the lookout for sure!! Those cookies take the cake!! 😉
I would love to taste those kisses. Great idea with the cookies
Those cookies look absolutely great, and that scarecrow is absolutely hilarious!!
Holy Cow Jenny…I just bought some of these last Saturday and thought now what do I do with them besides raid the bag and eat them, then hate myself!? You doll-you’re giving my brain a rest! Sanding sugar…hmmm…will any coarse type sugar work for the rolling?
Now my daughter’s raving about the Caramel Apple Kisses at Wal-Mart…geesh…I need to stick my fingers in my ears when she starts talking about this stuff!!!
By the way-I can’t WAIT to show the mooning scarecrow picture to Bob-he’s gonna LOVE IT!!!
You sneaky spy, you! I haven’t discovered these yet. Great find and a yummy recipe!
Oh boy…I haven’t seen those yet, but they sound great!! I like the scarecrow!
I have tried the new ‘kisses’!! They are yummy!! These look delicious and I can’t wait to try them. I have made choc. chip cookies with the pumpkin and spice cake mix…wonderful!! These are SO pretty!
Oh my God is that funny!! I love the mooning scarecrow. And, I love the pumpkin treats. I bookmarked it and I am totally going to make those!! Awesome!!
Yummy fall cookies and a harvest moon.
I saw these somewhere and knew I wanted to try them. This is funny! Today I made a cupcake with a spice cake mix, a can of pumpkin, an egg, some milk and mini chocolate chips! Great minds think alike I guess. These cookies look wonderful. I love anything with pumpkin and they sound simple. I will have to try them and get back to you. I am sure they rock! Pretty fall colors too! Love it!
Ohhhhh..I have not seen the Pumpkin Spice Kisses! I am now on the hunt!
Leslie,
I found the kisses at Target! Great price! By the way, the cookies are the best! You’ll love them.
