Chocolate Kiss Rose Buds

Silver-wrapped candy kisses
Red-wrapped candy kisses
Clear plastic wrap
Florist wire, cut into 12-inch pieces
Green floral tape

Put a silver and a red kiss base to base.

Center a piece of clear plastic wrap over the tip of the red one and stretch it tightly down over the kisses, gathering it at the tip of the silver kiss.

Take a 12-inch piece of florist wire and twist the end around the plastic wrap to secure it.

Wind with green floral tape, beginning at the twisted wire, wrap up and around silver kiss then spiral back down covering wire stem and tucking in artificial rose leaves about an inch below the bud and one or two more spaced further down the stem. Continue wrapping stem wire until the entire length is covered.
