The wall outside the Candyland factory is clearly painted to attract little people! Once inside, there is a lovely display - all fairytale style and gingerbread house look with the caption "The sweetest place on earth" - we won't argue.
There is definitely some allowance made for those of us who are taller than 1 metre - the Baileys fudge pictured here is clearly not designed for the kids and on sampling it, we decided that in spite of the price, we should try our utmost to try to 'consume within three weeks of purchase' - it wasn't easy I tell you!
We are quite convinced that there is scientific proof that chocolate is in fact very good for you - we have all heard about the positive effects a decent chocolate can have on the most gloomy of moods!

We browsed around the shop at Candyland while we waited for the tour to begin - apparently, this factory is one of the only working examples of the old fashioned sweet making factories left anywhere - this particular site was a cheese factory until some time in the seventies. When there was talk of demolishing the place, the present owner bought it all up and refurbished it with sweet making machinery - apparently that took two years to acquire all the right stuff - and Candyland has been going strong ever since.
