I need hugs.....

I need hugs.....

Not the board hugs.... I need Hershey's hugs to put with my kisses as we are not giving traditional favors (we made a donation)
I checked Waldbaums, CVS and Stop and Shop near me - are hugs exclusive?

Re: I need hugs.....

Mistyeyed - thanks for the links. One of the places has bags of hugs and kisses, but they are out of stock

Dubliner - where are you located - there is a place right next door to my office called Nassau Candy - they stock all that stuff - the location is in Hicksville - on W. John Street near Charlotte Avenue.

Re: I need hugs.....

I just called Nassau Candy, and they don't carry hugs, but they couldn't sell to the public anyway

The lady I spoke to was very helpful, and did tell me that on average there are 94 pieces (a hug or a kiss) per pound bag - just in case any one ever needed to know !!

Re: I need hugs.....

it's right off the wantagh pkwy - take it to 3E and when you get to old country rd make a left @ light, and take it down to w. john - make that right, and it'll be on your left hand side.

good luck!!!!!!!

Re: I need hugs.....

If you have trouble finding them let me know. I have a friend who used to work for Hershey - she might still know someone - I can ask her if you get in a real bind...
