This was serious, we had to wear an apron and hair cover. But it was fun.

We love doing the tour, first it’s free and second you get a free candy. Tour leaves you in the middle of the store, but it’s always fun to look around and see what they are selling and any new candy they are coming out.

Who doesn’t want to create their own Hershey’s Peanut Butter Cup.
