We took a trip to WAWI, the chocolate factory in Pirmasens. The hubby had to work so it was just me and the kids. It's a really small factory, but the ladies there are super nice. Plus, the chocolate ain't so bad. Brandon got a big, hallow duck, and Samantha got chocolate bugs. Downstairs we were able to see the where the products are made that they sell upstairs in their store. It's a nice place to visit. I just wish it wasn't a 45 minute drive for us.
Here's a before shot.

In the small cafe in the store were displays of old metal molds and a display about where we get chocolate. The display here has pods and cocoa beans.
