Valentines Candy Roses




- 1 bag candy - Hershey kisses and rolos work great
- Red, pink, or purple cellophane
- Stiff wire, not super thin or they will be hard to wrap, clipped coat hangers work great
- Artificial leaves
- Green florist tape

Cut cellophane in 12 (5 inch) squares. Put 1 Hershey kiss and 1 rolo so the flat sides are touching. Place top of the hershey kiss in the middle of the cellophane square and twist around the bottom. Take a wire and put it tight up against the candy, there should be about 1 inch where the wire and the cellophane overlap. Wrap tightly with florist tape, add leaves if you want and continue wrapping with tape until the entire wire is covered.

A couple tips: make sure the squares or cellophane at pretty big and leave a large tail so you really have something to attach to the stem and make sure when you wrap with the florist tape you pull it really tight

Though I think I personally would rather have these:

  2. I have made them before, and they are really easy, but those are not the ones I made.
