Scheduled tours are reserved in the order reservations are received.
*I've been told they don't like anyone under 5 going on the tour, they will take them on the tour--but they don't necessarily enjoy it.
To schedule a tour call 801-677-8888.
The tour includes viewing areas of the candy kitchen and boxing areas. Also an up-close look of how our hand-dipped chocolates are made. Video presentations of "How Chocolate is Made" and the "History of Mrs. Cavanaughs Candies" are viewed in the theatre room. There are also plenty of delicious samples and treats throughout the tour.
There is a store/outlet in our lobby where you can purchase our delicious chocolate.
