Hershey's Hugs & Kisses Pound Cake Torte

46 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup whipping cream - divided use
2 teaspoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10.3/4 ounce) frozen loaf pound cake, partially thawed
10 HERSHEY'S HUGS & KISSES Brand Chocolates (garnish)

1. Remove wrappers from HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates.
2. Combine chocolates and 1/3 cup whipping cream in small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in butter and vanilla until smooth; transfer to medium bowl. Refrigerate until firm enough to spread, about 1 hour.
4. Slice cake horizontally to make 3 layers. Arrange bottom layer on serving plate. Evenly spread 1/3 cup chocolate mixture over layer; top with second layer and spread with 1/3 cup mixture. Place remaining layer on top. Beat remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream until thickened; fold in remaining chocolate mixture. Refrigerate a few minutes if a more firm consistency is desired. Frost top, sides and ends of torte. Refrigerate about 6 hours.
