We were lucky to have a visit from Mike, Collette, Cassie, AND Effie. At the top of their to-do list was taking a visit to Hershey, Pennsylvania and more specifically- CHOCOLATE WORLD. We were happy to go along for some fun and of course a lot of Chocolate.
Our first activity was taking a class where we learned ALL about chocolate. We also learned how to properly eat it (never bite it)!
Next we went on a tour/ride of the chocolate factory. It wasn’t a real factory but it was very entertaining and FREE. We all loved the singing cows!
The ride conveniently ended rite at the beginning of the gift shop/chocolate area! There were stacks of candy everywhere! I was hoping they would have some unique chocolate but everything was stuff you could just buy at the store. Of course that didn’t stop us from indulging ourselves.
Mike and Seth opted to do the “Make Your Own Candy-bar” activity. They got to pick three add-ins and then send it through an enrober machine to top it off with chocolate. Seth also added sprinkles to the top of his. They also got to design their own packaging.
While the boys where away making their candy bars, we took the kids to the the kiss factory. They got to load the kisses into containers, shake them around, and send them off on a conveyer belt. It was free if you didn’t want to take the container home but at that point it seemed a little cruel not to let them have one. Aunt Effie was very generous and purchased all the kiss containers for the kids.
We all had fun at Chocolate World. Conrad even got in on the action with a little Chocolate Peanut Butter shake!! mmm…
Gettysburg was on the way home so we decided to stop and look around. We only did a quick driving tour but are looking forward to going back and seeing more.
