Chocolate World in Hershey, Pennsylvania
A chocolate tour of the USA is not complete without a visit to Hershey, the chocolate town of Pennsylvania, and its most popular chocolate attraction, Hershey’s Chocolate World. The sweet smell of chocolate just permeates the air. You can take a loop on the Great American Chocolate Tour Ride and learn first-hand how cocoa beans, milk and sugar are transformed into sweet, blissful indulgences. You can buy Hershey’s Chocolate in any store, but the only place that you can make your own candy bar, and work in the “Kiss Factory” is at the Chocolate World.
