A Trip To This Epic Chocolate Factory Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again

The only thing better than an epic box of chocolates is a tour of an epic chocolate factory (followed by an epic box of chocolates or two, of course.) Fortunately, Ohio is home to a delicious chocolate factory and shop that will satisfy your sweet tooth and make all your chocolate-covered dreams come true. Anthony-Thomas Candy Company is must-see for everyone in Ohio at least once.

With several shops in central Ohio, you've likely seen (and tasted) Anthony-Thomas chocolates and candies before.

At the factory location, tours are open to the public for just $2 a person on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

During the tour, you'll walk across a glass cat-walk and observe nine lines producing approximately 30,000 pounds of chocolates, according to the company's website.

In the spring time, it's particularly fun to watch the chocolate bunnies being assembled.

After your tour, be sure to stop inside the shop, as you'll likely be craving some sort of chocolate treat...

...and in addition to all your favorite candies, you might see some pretty unusual creations, such as this giant buckeye. (Now THAT'S a buckeye.)

Anthony-Thomas Candy Company is located at 1777 Arlingate Lane, Columbus, OH 43228. Have you ever been here before? What was your experience like? Let us know!
