As a true chocolate lover, here are 3 of the many interesting facts about chocolate I learned while on the tour:
1. There is NO chocolate in white chocolate. (Eat your heart out Steve! Steve is my father-in-law and hasn't had chocolate in years. Poor thing.) White chocolate is made from butter & sugar and vanilla.
2. Anthony Thomas produces some of the chocolate candies for other chocolate companies. When I asked the tour guide, "Like what companies?" She said, "I cannot tell you." Then she whispered the name of one of the companies in my ear. It's seems I come across very trust worthy.
3. Chocolate has a shelf life of 1 year. It's no wonder my Halloween candy still tasted good at Easter.
Here is a picture of Whitney with the biggest chocolate buckeye. It costs a mere $3,500! ("I want that!"from Napoleon Dynamite)
Whitney & Jadyn: captive in their strollers. Waiting to go on our tour.
Whitney with the Buckeye. (That's actually not peanut butter in that buckeye. It's white chocolate with a dye that makes it light brown.)
They also want to make sure nobody steals any chocolate from the factory. You have to get on this little scale before & after your tour to make sure you haven't gained any weight.

Looks awesome!
Looks like fun! I loved the pictures of Bart and Whitney's dates too! The pet store sounds like a kids dream. As much as that is true, we will most likely stick to Petsmart where I don't really have to touch anything, just endure he smell.
Are you serious about the scale? If so that is funny!! I would love that big ball of chocolate it looks so good. I haven't had any sweets for 2 1/2 weeks. It is so hard.
That is so funny!!! (about the scale)
Yummy! What a fun midweek trip. :) I loved the pics by the buckeye.
