Some friends of ours went to the Jelly Belly factory just over the boarder of Wisconsin and it looked like fun so we decided to try it out for ourselves. They offer free tours of the warehouse and show you how they make the beans along with the many other kinds of candy they make. It was amazing how much work goes into making the candy.
At one point you pass under these giant Jell Belly's hanging from the ceiling that are like 6 feet tall.
At the end of the tour they give you a sample bag and drop you of at the candy shop where they have a sample bar and ton and tons of candy for sale. The sample bar was neat, it gives you a chance to try any of the flavors you want before you buy them. They also had flavors like dog food, ear wax, diaper wipes and moldy cheese. Damian was brave enough to try the moldy cheese. He spit it out pretty quick after but he did give it a try. Here is the link if anyone is interestred. http://www.jellybelly.com/visit_jelly_belly/wisconsin_factory.aspxThis is the part of our take home loot. Damian got a little carried away.
On our way home we stopped and ate at Culver's. (Note to Utah readers: it is kind of like Warrens) The food was really good and they make their own custard which was really yummy!
