Miniature, automated chocolate factory assembles bars for guests
Each year, 3 million people visit HERSHEY’S Chocolate World attraction, and many can choose to become custom candy makers when they visit Hershey, PA. From the young to the young-at-heart, people line up daily at HERSHEY’S Create Your Own Candy Bar attraction at The Hershey Company’s corporate visitor attraction.
Designed to immerse guests in the chocolate-crafting process, the interactive experience allows guests to design and manufacture their very own sweet sensation. Guests can dictate their own recipe for a souvenir candy bar, starting with the type of chocolate (seasonal choices of white, milk or dark). Then, they can choose three toppings from six ever-changing options, such as vanilla chips, chocolate cookie bits, almond pieces, graham cracker bits and pretzel bits. The final product comes wrapped up in distinctive packaging visitors can design after watching their concoction come together on the production line.
