Description
A recipe for Chocolate Kisseltoe Ball

Ingredients

• Wire coat hanger
  
• Styrofoam ball (4, 6 or 8 inches)
  
• Aluminum foil (optional)
  
• 3 to 6 bags (13 ounces each) Hershey's Kisses Chocolates,
  
• wrapped in green, red and silver foil (size of ball determines how many bags are needed)
  
• Glue (low-heat gun, glue stick or "Safe Confectioners' Glue")
  
• Toothpicks
  
• 4 yards (1-inch-wide) holiday ribbon

Preparation
1. Straighten wire hanger; insert one end through center of foam ball. Clear 6 inches of wire through opposite end; bend a hook at least 1 inch in length. Pull wire back up through hole, securing hooked end into bottom of foam ball. Determine desired length of top wire. Bend loop at end to form hanger and hang on ladder or clothes rod to decorate.

2. Cover ball with aluminum foil, if desired. Cover ball by gluing green foil-wrapped Kisses with the flat end to the surface of the ball. Decorate with remaining silver and red Kisses by inserting end of toothpick into the side of Kiss; insert other end into ball, filling in any gaps. Alternate colors and angles.

3. Finish by attaching a large bow on top and loops of ribbon on the bottom. Completed craft is for decorative purpose only and candy should not be eaten.

*Prepare "Safe Confectioners' Glue" by whisking together 4 teaspoons powdered egg whites (meringue powder) with 1/4 cup water until completely dissolved. With mixer, beat in 3 cups sifted powdered sugar until thick and smooth.
