The Chocolate Factory

Yesterday we went to the Chocolate Factory in Dixon Springs, IL. We went with two other mom's from my local mom's group and their kids. It was a bit of a drive, but we enjoyed ourselves. The factory was small and somewhat unimpressive but interesting. All of their candies are hand made and wrapped which is really something these days. We got a tour of the candy making area and watched a worker make some chocolate on a stick and peanut butter cups. We saw the big vats of chocolate mixing and watched them package some chocolate. There were some really good samples too! Ephraim tried his first chocolate and loved it. He was screaming in the store for more! I got him a small tractor on a stick to eat at home but it broke on the drive back. I was very disappointed. He would have had big fun eating that. Here are a few pictures of our chocolate factory adventure. Can you believe those last two of the deviled eggs and pizza are all chocolate!
