Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, consider using whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. You can also substitute the chocolate kisses with peanut butter cups for a twist. Ensure your biscuits are rolled evenly for consistent baking, and keep an eye on them as they near the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are delightful on their own, but you can serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience. They pair beautifully with June Merrill'S Fireside Coffee for a cozy treat. A side of fresh fruit can also complement the sweetness of the biscuits.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the chocolate to soften again without overcooking the biscuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of kisses?
Absolutely! You can use mini chocolate chips, caramel candies, or even pieces of toffee for a unique flavor. Just keep in mind that melting times may vary, so adjust the baking time accordingly.
What if I don't have cinnamon?
If you don't have cinnamon, you can substitute it with nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for a different yet flavorful twist. You might also consider a dash of vanilla extract in the biscuit dough for added depth.
Are these biscuits suitable for freezing?
Yes, these biscuits freeze well! After baking, allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
