Sweet's Candy Factory

Today I went with my mom, Kara, Cooper, and Sophie to the Sweet's Candy Factory. My Aunt had told my mom about the tour and so we decided to go on the tour ourselves. They wouldn't allow any cameras into the factory so you only get pictures of us outside.

We had to wear these stylish hair nets on the tour. It was really cool to see how they make all the different types of candy. They took us to the taffy room, jelly bean room, and chocolate room. They have all the ingredients such as sugar and chocolate running through large pipes in the ceiling. It is very interesting.

At the end of the tour we each got our own free bag of taffy. Here is Cooper and Sophie displaying their bags. We also got several samples throughout the tour. Cooper was in heaven!

We didn't think that the free bags were enough candy so we bought some from the store. The funny thing is I bought tons of candy and I don't even really like it that much. If anyone wants any chocolate peanut clusters, boston baked beans, burnt peanuts, etc. come on over!

Here is a final group shot. It was tons of fun and very interesting to see how everything was made. The kids loved it (and so did the adults)!!
