Instructions

Notes
Note 1: I tried out caramel kisses for these and they didn’t work—caramel oozed out everywhere. Stick to solid chocolate kisses.
Note 2: I’ve had a few people report issues with the kisses crumbling; this means the oven was too hot or the chocolate was baked too long. I recommend trying 1 rudolph nose at first to test. If it crumbles, reduce the baking time for the rest. Do not use convection oven settings.
Storage: To store leftovers, keep the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them to keep them fresh. If freezing, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and thaw before serving.
