Bunnies!You haven't lived until you've seen a 7,000 pound tank full of fine milk chocolate being prepared for use on chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate meltaways, chocolate covered Oreos and chocolate covered Nutter Butters.
Chocolate covered Nutter Butters!
Philadelphia Candies conducted their annual factory tour Saturday. Participants got a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Hermitage,PA based company. The stroll through the factory floor illuminated how difficult it could be to produce some of the best tasting chocolate in the world. Workers decked out in Baker's whites poured luxurious liquid chocolate into bunny molds and stacked them as they cooled. Conveyor belts produced an unending stream of candies from the enrobing machines, where chocolate waterfalls smothered nut clusters with sweet molten goodness.
Yeah, the diet is killing me.
Philadelphia Candies has been a Shenango Valley institution since 1919, producing candy that can truly be called exceptional. On the tour visitors were given a sample bunny and kids got to meet the Easter Bunny. If you have the opportunity to take the tour next year, it's well worth the short drive across the state line.
