The tour was given by Oompa Loompa #1
Recently JQ, G-tot, and I were given a tour of the Firelilly Chocolates factory in Toledo, Ohio. Right now Firelilly makes just one item—the Firelilly Truffle Cone. If you have never had the pleasure of eating a FTC you need to order some immediately. It is this amazing little crunchy waffle cone that is filled with a creamy truffle filling and then hand dipped just slightly in a milk or dark chocolate coverture. They come in six different flavors—Decadent Dark and Peanut Butter are probably my favorite—and all of them are delicious.
Our tour was more than just checking out the factory. It was really experiencing every part of the product. We got to try the cones alone, then a spoonfull each of the warm melted truffle center, then a cone filled with truffle mix and set-up but not yet dipped in the coverture—which we got to try before they were melted down for dipping.
An extremely delicious experience to say the least.
And now I’m a total chocolate snob.
(Salivating) Oh, man. I want some of those truffle cones so badly right now! Dear GOD.
What a fun time that must have been! Cool pics, too. And now, I go find chocolate. Any chocolate, I don’t care. I need it.

They are so amazing. I can’t even explain it.

Great, now I have the Oompa Loompa song in my head. Thanks!
I agree with Lisa, that looks DELICIOUS! And G-tot, well he is delicious too.

We have had these cones on several occasions and G-tot is hilarious when he eats one. He eats it really slow as if to savor every bite. So refined for a 2.5 year old.

Those look and sound delicious! We have a chocolate factory near our house and we often go there for the free samples after the tour. And they have a lit up cactus garden during the holidays. You all should come to Vegas and experience it. Then you can call yourself chocolate factory experts!

I think that sounds like a perfect idea.
