These DIY jumbo Hershey kisses are the cutest Valentine’s Day gift idea! Made with plastic funnels filled with paper shred, candy, and optional gift cards, then wrapped in foil and topped with a “Hershey’s” label. Perfect for classroom Valentines, teacher gifts, Galentine’s, and neighbor treats.
Ingredients
- Plastic funnel
- Paper gift filler shredded paper
- Valentine candy assorted
- Small gifts optional
- Gift card optional
- Aluminum foil
- Pink foil wrap
- Red foil wrap
- Tape
- Scissors
- Computer paper for label
- Printer or marker
Instructions
- Set up the funnel. Place the plastic funnel upright with the wide opening at the top.
- Add filler first. Drop a small handful of paper gift filler into the funnel to create a base and help hold the treats in place.
- Fill with treats + gifts. Add Valentine candy, small surprises, and an optional gift card (tuck the gift card into the center so it’s hidden).
- Wrap with aluminum foil. Cover the entire funnel with a large sheet of aluminum foil, smoothing it down as you wrap to create the classic Hershey Kiss shape. Fold and pinch the foil neatly at the top.
- Add Valentine foil layers. Wrap pink and red foil over the aluminum foil for a festive look. Tape everything securely, taping on the back when possible for a cleaner finish.
- Add the “Hershey’s” label. Print the word “Hershey’s” on computer paper, cut it out, and tape it near the top of the jumbo kiss.
- Finish with a tag strip (optional). Cut a thin strip of paper and tape it sticking out of the top like the classic Hershey Kiss paper tag. Write “XOXO” or “Happy Valentine’s Day!” if you want.
- Smooth + gift. Smooth the foil one last time, fluff the shape, and your jumbo Hershey kiss is ready to gift!

Notes
Gift card tip: Fold the gift card and place it in the center first, then fill candy around it so it stays hidden.
Make ahead: These can be made 3–5 days ahead and stored in a cool, dry place.
Best candy options: Mini chocolates, conversation hearts, wrapped gummies, or small treats that won’t melt easily.
Transport tip: Stand them upright in a box or basket with tissue paper around them to prevent dents in the foil.
