Remember when I told you Hershey was adding to their Chocolate World a great feature where you could make your own chocolate bar? I was so excited!! The bars cost $14.95, but I didn't care - I saw myself opening streams of caramel, sprinkling nuts, and squirting peanut butter.
Well, well well - it opened recently and here are the ingredients you get to work with:
Graham crackers, chocolate cookie bits, blueberry fruit gels, crisp rice, rainbow sprinkles and vanilla chips
BOO! HISS! Those ingredients suck! Blueberry fruit gels? GLAACK! Vanilla chips? Sprinkles? What about peanuts for God's sake? And do we need two types of cookie? These were the top ingredients they came up with? Not even marshmallow or coconut?
I am soooo disappointed. I don't want a chocolate bar made with any of these. Certainly not enough to spend Christmas in Hershey which I was thinking about doing so I could check this baby out. But I don't need to go there to see this - they have something similar at It's Sugar in Myrtle Beach. Lame. Boring. Definitely doesn't live up to the dream.
Nobody ever made a great candy bar with blueberry fruit gels and sprinkles. This is enough to drive me back to Internet dating.

Livin' the Dream
If you've been experiencing a little of the post-holiday blues, I'm here to help.
We all need to plan a road trip to Hershey this summer. Or maybe we should wait until fall - let the crowds die down and keep our chocolate from melting.
Why do we need to go?
Because they are expanding my favorite place - Chocolate World - and creating a mini factory experience where we can make our own chocolate bars!!!!!!! Read this:
Guests, wearing factory aprons and hairnets (okay the hairnets will suck), will select and load ingredients such as caramel bits, graham crackers and crisped rice and pull levers and handles to dispense the ingredients via equipment similar to machinery used in Hershey’s factories.
YAY! I say! How much fun would that be!! (Although peanut butter better be on the list somewhere.)
I want to go NOW!
The five-ounce bars will be cooled and wrapped in custom packaging created by guests. The price of the attraction is expected to be $12.95, Hahn said.
I don't care if it's $50 - that sounds cool as hell! Okay, well Hell isn't cool, but you know what I mean.
Here's the artist's rendition of the building:

I am drawn to that like a moth to a flame!
In fact, I think I see myself - I'm the one trying to stick my mouth under the caramel dispenser.
2010 is going to be a very good year indeed!!!
