In my unofficial job of arranging activities for the kids in our ward to do, I was able to arrange a tour of Cavanaghs Chocolate Factory. We actually got a fantastic tour because it was led by one of the ladies in our ward. (Colette Call) She works at the factory, and got permission to take the kids into the factory and let them make chocolate covered gummy worms to eat. (all of this for no charge.) The kids had a great time, and I know that most of the parents enjoyed themselves as well.
Here is Aby she is waiting by the gummy worms for her turn to place them on the chocolate conveyor belt to get covered.
Here are mom and Kenzie placing her gummy worms on the chocolate conveyor belt to be covered. We really had a great time.
You can see how excited the kids were after they placed the gummy worms they would run down to the other end and keep a watch until they could see the worms. The funny part it took nearly 10 minutes for them to come to the end. That didn't bother the kids at all.
Everyone got their worms and we were ready to move onto my favorite part, the caramel section. OHHHH....the samples that we had in there were divine.
Caramel.....need I say more, ok the kids probably didn't enjoy this as much as the chocolate machine, but that didn't stop them from trying out the candy.
Kenzie and Bryn tasting their caramels and moving on to the next room.
At the end everyone gathered around to watch an interesting movie on how chocolate is made. We really did have a great time, and I will never think lightly of how hard it is to make the little chocolates that you eat.
