Sweet Candy Factory


A few weeks ago after seeing the pics on Amanda's blog, I thought it would be fun to take the boys on a tour of the Sweet Candy Factory. I made a reservation and out we headed. The factory is about 3700 W. 1100 S. When we first arrived we were instructed that we would be wearing candy maker hats for our tour. We then watched a short movie and then followed our guide around the factory to see how they make the good treats. We first saw the wearhouse stocked to the ceiling with candy. We saw how they make taffy, chocolate covered jelly sticks, cinnamon bears, jelly beans, chocolate covered peanuts and then how they did the packing. It was very interesting and enjoyable. We were able to sample a piece of taffy fresh off the line and were given a sample bag to take home. The boys purchased their favorite treat, candy corn and I got my favorite, chocolate covered cinnamon bears.

Here are the boys sporting their "candy maker hats" and yummy treats.
