Today was another summer field trip day! Karen & I took the kids to the Sweet's candy factory. It was a blast! I highly recommend it to anyone in the Salt Lake area. As you can see, soon after we arrived everyone had to put on a "candy maker hat." (Not everyone was happy about this). Our tour guide Emily took us through the warehouse then into the factory. No cameras aloud- don't want to give away any candy making secrets! We saw taffy being made, then jellybeans & cinnamon santas. Next we went into the chocolate room, where raspberry sticks were being coated in milk chocolate. The smell was incredible. We watched them be packaged & they even gave us a fresh one to sample. We saw Halloween candy being packaged & taffy formed & wrapped. We had a fresh piece of candy corn taffy that was even a little warm- delicious.
After the tour was over, Emily handed out bags of candy & we shopped the outlet store. It was so much fun. Everyone agreed the chocolate room was our favorite, along with seeing the window to the secret recipe room where surely oompa loompas live.
This trip I'm pretty sure mom had just as much- if not more fun than the kids!
Future Candy Makers Of America!
