Today we drove through some beautiful country, lots of farms and rolling hills on our way to Hershey, PA.  We had the factory tour (more like a Disneyland ride), very fun and interesting to learn about chocolate making.  The best part of course was the chocolate tasting.  It was such a fun experience.  Then we went to the Hershey Story Museum.  One of my favorite parts was learning that Milton Hershey's Dad told him to do things in a  big way.  He certainly did!  Also that Hershey transformed chocolate from a luxury to an affordable treat and he created a great community for his employees to work and live in.  An amazing man.
Then on our way to Lancaster where we are staying tonight we stopped in for another chocolate experience at the Wilbur Chocolate Factory Store in Lititz, PA.  It was quite different from Hershey, most of the candy is hand made. What a great day!- Ann
Their more well know items are Wilbur's Breakfast Cocoa and Wilbur's Buds (chocolate drop.)
