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.

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.
