Dippers Starting Their Day


Starting off the beginning of the day with some dipped nuts!


Here is the chocolate bin for one of our dipper girls in the dipping room. The dipping room itself is quite cool to keep the candies from melting, although the chocolate itself is kept heated!

Prepping the Candy



In the morning after the candy is cooked and poured, it is ready to move on to the next step!


Here is essentially a mesh "cage" that sifts all the corn starch off the tray of candy and leaves just the candies behind, leaving the cornstarch to be used for the next batch.


Here, Sally is brushing off the additional cornstarch from the candies.


The candies are separated because some will be dipped in milk chocolate, some in dark chocolate. Sandy dips milk chocolate and Judy dips dark. Milk chocolate is typically a bigger seller so a larger portion of the candies are designated for milk!
