The Winans Factory

Today we went to the Winans chocolate factory. We got to get a tour of the factory and see how and where they make chocolate. Here are some pictures of the tour.

This is my baby cousin Ruby. (She and I have the same birthday, July 8.)

This is where the make caramel. They make about 90,000 lbs of candy per year.

This is where they make the chocolate.

This is where we got to make an chocolate covered oreos. First you put the oreos on this machine that puts chocolate on the bottom of the oreos then it freezes it. Then it goes though this chocolate waterfall that puts chocolate on the top. After that you put candy on top and it goes though a freezing machine.

Here is the chocolate waterfall.

This is a machine that puts chocolate on the bottom and freezes it.

The oreos are approaching the waterfall.

This is us puting on the candy.

This is where the candy comes out.

This is George the bunny. They make him every Easter.(It was funny because my cousin George was with us! He is the one in the army sweatshirt.)

This is a very big egg. They only make four of these a year.

This is where they make caramel.

And this is the worlds oldest Hobart mixer. (1911)

This is how they make buckeyes.

Right here is where they wrap the candy to sell at Winan's.

This is the whole entire group. It is all the Twiss grandkids.(These are all my cousins!)
