Remember when I told you about these new, chocolatey spreads from Hershey’s?
And remember these cookies I made with Hershey’s spreads:
And I told you there would be a giveaway?
Well, today is the day for the giveaway! You are going to love this! [Read more…] about Hershey’s Spreads Favorite Pairings and a Giveaway!
This is a sponsored post from Hershey’s Spreads. I have received product and compensation for my time, but all opinions are my own.
We’re going back and forth between cookies and soup this week. On Tuesday, I told you about the new Hershey’s Spreads and I hinted at this recipe. Then yesterday, I shared Pineapple Chili with you. Today, I bring you the cookie recipe I teased you with on Tuesday. And tomorrow, I’ve got a brand new slow cooker soup for you.
As far as I’m concerned, we could go on switching between cookies and soup for a long time! They are two of my favorites.
My mom used to make thumbprint cookies every Christmas. She filled hers with green and pink icing. Pink, because the red food coloring never coaxed the color all the way to red. I love her thumbprint cookies. But for some reason, I’ve never made them myself.
When the Hershey’s Spreads came in the mail, I knew they would be perfect to fill thumbprint cookies. And because sweet is made even better by a little salty taste, I added a sprinkle of kosher salt to the tops. It makes them look extra special too.
Since I didn’t have the recipe, I called mom on the phone. She flipped through her pile of hand-written recipes to find it for me. I scribbled the recipe in pencil. It felt like old-fashioned times (you know, like 10 years ago, when we weren’t in the habit of searching up recipes online).

I love chocolate, so I was very excited to hear that Hershey’s has come out with new spreads. Spreadable chocolate? Count me in!
Hershey’s sent me a #SpreadPossibilities kit so that I could taste all of their new spreads. They have three flavors – Chocolate with Almond, Chocolate with Hazelnut and Chocolate. I couldn’t wait to dig in.
The kit came with quite a few things to pair with the Hershey’s Spreads. I loved the salty pairings. I’m a sucker for a good sweet/salty combo, especially when it involves chocolate.
We opened all three containers. Even though the cute chalkboard they included had my name on it, I shared with Jim and the kids! I had to hold them all back when the package came. They were ready to dive in right away, but I wanted some photos first.
I’ll be sharing more on our favorite pairings soon, but we had a great time spreading graham crackers, oatmeal granola bars, dried fruit, pretzels, pita chips and more with Hershey’s Spreads.
My favorite is the chocolate. If you love Hershey’s chocolate (and who doesn’t?), you will love this. To me, it tastes like a spreadable version of a Hershey bar. Amazing!
The Chocolate with Almond and Chocolate with Hazelnut are both delicious too, but I just love the pure chocolate flavor of the Chocolate spread.
I’m going to be doing three more posts for Hershey’s Spreads over the next month. I’ll even have a giveaway for you later too.
And look for a recipe for these little cookies coming soon. These pecan thumbprint cookies topped with Chocolate Hershey’s Spreads and a sprinkle of salt make fantastic Christmas cookies! In fact, they were taken to a Christmas party over the weekend. The plate came back empty. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you!
