Candy Store

Last Friday I went with Seth's class and another Kindergarten class on their field trip to the candy store in town here. They were soooo excited to go and there were a couple arguments on who had been there more. Ashton has been there over a million times, Gabby is around a hundred, and Seth told his class he as been there only once. : )

While we had this discussion we waited for the other class to come to our room. Once they arrived we walked a few blocks down to the store.

Once we got inside each person was able to take a sucker to eat while we toured the store. Seth took a sucker, but saved it for Jakob.

Here is a picture of both classes.
The kids took a quick walk around the store while the owner and his helper got ready.
I thought this was a very dangerous thing to do with kids. But they did a very good job.

Can you tell Seth is use to me taking his picture???

Then the kids all lined up behind the glass wall to watch them make fudge.

First they pour the stuff onto the marble table.
Then he adds marshmallow and chocolate.

After it starts to melt they take the metal bars off the sides and start to mix it around.
And mix......
And mix.......
Making sure they don't have any chocolate left over on the table.
Then they add whatever nut they want.

And mix some more. Once that is mixed together they scoop piles on to the metal trays, shape into a rectangle and let sit to harden.
Once they were done we toured the place one more time.
Then we waited for free samples.

Soooooo yummy.

If your interested in ordering candy you can go to their website.
