A couple of years ago I took the kids to a candy factory right about the time that the new Willy Wonka movie came out.  It was a really neat field trip. 

Not only did we get the chance to see the factory in action but they also took us into a room and showed a movie all about chocolate.  This stuff is chock full of goodness.  And according to the speaker there is hardly any caffiene.  It is really very healthy as long as it is dark chocolates you are eating. 

The informational movie showed the history of how chocolate came to be.  We finished watching the movie and then they led us to a glass wall.  There we watched all the different concoctions being made.  It was wild to see the huge vats of chocolate.  There were giant pipes that carried the chocolate to all the different machienes.  When we were done there we were each given a lovely piece of chocolate to try. 

Since then I am always looking for those little yummy pieces of heaven.
