Touring the Production Area




The chocolate panning machine is making chocolate covered cranberries



The non-pareil machine was purchased in 1978 and has made 2,000lbs of non-pareils in one day!






These panned cranberries get coated with 100lbs of chocolate per 50lbs of fruit in the rotating drum.


Dorothy Cox is known for her great gift baskets and their buttercrunch toffee
