Hershey Museum
August 26, 2009 12:14 pm Family Fun, PennsylvaniaI figured out quickly that we could make our path go by Hershey. I enjoyed my visit to the Chocolate Spa so much last year that I have decided that I am going to make it a yearly event. So I made reservations for a scrub, a wrap, and a couples massage with Nathan. Since I was now going to be at the spa for about 5 hours, I started feeling guilty about the kids and my mom being in the parking lot for that time so we left a day earlier than originally planned and stayed two nights at the Hershey Campground. This made it so we had a day and a half to do Hershey things with the kids and then my mom had more room and electricity for watching the kids while Nathan and I were at the spa.
Last year we went to Chocolate World. I looked on the website to see if there was anything else to do and noticed that they now have a Hershey Museum…
At the front of the museum is an amazing mural of Milton Hershey talking to children. It is so lifelike it feels like you are there with him. The kids posed with the mural…
One of the things I signed us up for was the Chocolate Lab. You go into a kitchen area where you have to put on hairnets and plastic aprons…
They give you each a bar mold and you have dishes of marshmallows, rice krispies, colored sprinkles, white chocolate drops, and raisins. Next they give you bowls of milk chocolate (would have been better if you could have dark chocolate). You can then design a chocolate bar however you want with the ingredients given to you. Mine had marshmallows, rice krispies, and white chocolate. Josh put sprinkles and marshmallows in his. After he was done he found another use for the leftover chocolate…
Then he got bored and started playing with his hairnet…
Timmy had sprinkles and rice krispies in his chocolate bar. He was using the other bowl of chocolate….
The result…..
Samantha made a “2009 Bar” but she will not share her secret recipe. :) Here are all of the children with their creations before they ate them…
Other than the fact that it was milk chocolate the bars were delicious! :)
