Ingredients
Instructions
- Flatten each biscuit and place one Kiss or half a Kiss and half a caramel in the center of each biscuit.
- Pinch the biscuit closed to seal the filling inside.
- Roll each biscuit in melted butter, then in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Layer the prepared biscuits in a greased Bundt pan.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate Kisses instead of regular. If you're short on time, pre-made biscuit dough can be used as a great substitute. Ensure the caramels are soft to make sealing the biscuits easier. If you want a unique twist, add a pinch of sea salt atop each biscuit before baking to enhance the sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, drizzled with chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. These treats also make a fantastic addition to a dessert table alongside other American recipes, like Chewy Marshmallow Brownies or Coca-Cola Chocolate Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Mom's Chocolate Surprise in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes to regain their soft texture. This method keeps them warm and gooey without drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits and fill them a day in advance. Simply store them in the fridge and bake them fresh when ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld, making for a delightful surprise when you finally bake them.
What can I use instead of caramels?
If you don't have caramels, you can substitute with chocolate-covered caramel candies or even homemade caramel sauce, though the latter may require careful sealing. Just ensure that whatever you use can withstand the baking process without melting too much.
How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
The biscuits are ready when they are golden brown and cooked through, which typically takes about 35 minutes at 350°F. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they're done!
