Little c and I had the best time yesterday. We visited the Sweet Candy Company's factory. I loved the smell inside... AAAaahhh Sugar! The bags of sugar they use weigh 2,000 pounds. They use 800 pounds of chocolate everyday. Everyday they ship out 7-12 semi-truck loads of candy to points all over the country. When the government has room on transports over-seas, they ship Sweet's sweets to our troops. Hooray!
It was a little Roald Dahl in the factory with large pipes piping chocolate all over the place and pipes taking sugar everywhere. The tour guide told us that when we had finished the tour, we had walked 1/2 mile. It seems like a kind of large rectangle in there. (Above is a picture of the old factory) They also told us that last year 10 million pounds of salt water taffy was shipped out of that factory. That's some serious taffy!
I love it when they pack it up like this. Don't you love these boxes?!?! We had too much fun in the Sweet Candy Company's Sweet Shop...
If you get a chance... don't miss this tour on a trip to Salt Lake City... I believe that they only run the tours during the summer when the factory is not running at full capacity... The address is on the door. :)

I love this place too. I took TN las year and she was a little too young. She kept taking off that hair net hat thing they said must not come off while in the factory. It is a fun place.
I have never gone there. We used to have the Peppermint place just up the road from us, but they've moved their manufacturing plant to somewhere else, so we have no candy factory to visit. I'll have to take the kids up to SLC and see this one. Thanks for the tip.
And I thought I knew every tourist activity in SLC... thanks... my girls will love this on our next visit.
That sounds like a fun day for you and little c.
