I don’t know about you – but Tom and I really enjoyed our “kiss x 2” this weekend!  Since we both read the blog we each had to make sure we surprised the other with a great kiss!  I remembered that I had purchased a Hershey Kiss shaped baking pan a while back, so on Saturday I baked some Ghiradelli brownies in the pan.   I wrote in 8 font on the computer what I love about kissing Tom and cut it into a very thin strip of paper – like what you find in a Hershey Kiss candy.  I set it in the top of the brownies as a way to surprise Tom and thank him for his great kisses.  It was a fun treat for him, and I love chocolate!  Need I say more?
