I made these last weekend and tried the mini Kisses on them. I always found
it awkward to try and get two bites on the cookie with the big kiss. Any
how the mini Kisses don't seem to stick to the cookie as well as the large
Kisses. Boy they do look impressive with the big Kiss on them.
I did experiment this year with 2 different Peanut Butter Blossom recipes.
The one I have I got in the 1980's and it's always been good. BUT I saw the
above recipe on the Mini Kiss bag and thought well maybe the recipe had been
improved. So, I made a batch of them too. The new recipe didn't seem as
good when I did taste testing with friends and my kids. Don't get me wrong
we're not throwing them out they are good, but they didn't taste as Peanut
Buttery as my first recipe.
