Kajunswty Posted July 28, 2012 #26 Share Posted July 28, 2012 This sounds like a great idea for the afternoon with the whole family. We are splitting up to do CCL excursions early in the day. Thanks for the info :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javamom Posted July 28, 2012 #27 Share Posted July 28, 2012 My wife and I just stumbled across the factory walking through the tourist village this past Jan. Just walked in and they asked if they asked us if they could show us around.It was a nice storefront with a kitchen in the back. They showed us around the kitchen and how chocolate was grown and processed. Never charged us a dime for a tour at that time. There were only about 3 people (customers) there when we arrived and we had the place to ourselves after about 30 minutes. Be prepared for some unconventional variations on chocolate that are fun to taste. My lips are still puckered from some of the flavors! All that said we bought a ton of the stuff to bring home. They have some weird chocolate bars there. Many of their bars are shaped very similar to Hershey type bars (about 6"X3"???) We're headed that way again this Jan (13) on the Legend and will definitely drop in for a visit and buy another boat load of the stuff. This sounds so cool, and is the first time I've heard about it.

crichard312 Posted July 30, 2012 #28 Share Posted July 30, 2012 We just returned. The kids liked it, but it was not as big a deal as we thought. It only takes like 15 minutes. They have liquid chocolate they put into a mold. They then let you put what ever you want in the bar, walnuts, almonds, or several other choices. They then let it sit, and wrap it for you like a regular bar. There is a lot of neat chocolate stuff to purchase. It was fun, but after about 15 to 20 minutes, you are done. Oh, and the tastes are wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanrascal Posted July 30, 2012 #29 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Could any of you that have been there tell me if this store/factory is wheelchair accessible? That is, if there is a step(s) at the front or anywhere within the store necessary in order to do the tour or if there are any narrow doorways where a wheelchair would not be able to get through? Thanks. We were there in January and I do recall steps, but I do not recall if there were ramps or other arrangements for wheel chair accessibility.

marshhawk Posted July 31, 2012 #30 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Can you just go in and buy chocolate without having to take a tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crichard312 Posted August 1, 2012 #31 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yes, and there are tons of chocolate things to buy like chocolate tea, chocolate lip gloss, and chocalate healing cream. There also have from time to time free samples to try the chocolate bars. I could have spent a fortune in this store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajunswty Posted August 14, 2012 #34 Share Posted August 14, 2012 We just returned from a port stop there and enjoyed our shopping trip! The chocolate bars are $7 each and there are some usual and not so usual flavors. Two of my favorites were chocolate with chili pepper and chocolate with lime and salt. We were also able to purchase chocolate shots 3/$5 and we could chose what we wanted them filled with. I'll attempt to add a couple of pics Any questions? just ask and i'll try to answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsified1 Posted August 15, 2012 #38 Share Posted August 15, 2012 How far from the port is this? My son is a chocoholic and would love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajunswty Posted August 15, 2012 #39 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I heard you can make your own chocolate bars? yes, you can…my researched told me that it was $12 for 3 bars but I can’t confirm because since we didn’t have enough time to do it, I didn’t think to check on it. I do have a picture of the area though, I’ll add it How far from the port is this? My son is a chocoholic and would love this. Its extremely close, hard to miss …there’s two big signs.

montgomeryfamily Posted August 15, 2012 #40 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are there any ramps or entrances with no steps such that someone in a wheelchair could enter the shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abear2 Posted August 20, 2012 #42 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Do you have to leave the gated area for this chocolate factory tour you are talking about? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajunswty Posted August 20, 2012 #43 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Do you have to leave the gated area for this chocolate factory tour you are talking about? :) no, its still in the shopping area. I don't have a pic with the building in it but these should help. i'm attaching a pic of the walkway toward the shopping area. The second picture shows the shopping area to the left of the first. the third is a different angle but its alittle further down...i've edited it to show where the Wet Lizard is. Moho is in the building right next to the Wet Lizard, you can't see it because of the balcony but its only a few feet away. hope that helps ;) those pics are too small to see...let me try to get the pic on here larger also, use the green building for point of reference Edited August 20, 2012 by Kajunswty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj1 Posted August 21, 2012 #44 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sounds fun. I wish it were a longer tour,but we'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHayesShip Posted August 25, 2012 #45 Share Posted August 25, 2012 You are number 40 in the thread. Go to #34. There is a picture of the "lip" to the entrance. My mom will be in a wheel chair and I am going to try it. It might be a little difficult. However, don't know if door is wide enough. Are there any ramps or entrances with no steps such that someone in a wheelchair could enter the shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applehunt Posted August 28, 2012 #46 Share Posted August 28, 2012 On our last trip to Belize, 5/02/2012 there was a fairly new Chocolate Factory located in the Tourist Village which my wife said was a ball. You can pay $20.00 & you get to make a couple of chocolate bars. They also offer a spicy hot chocolate. It is located quite close to the Wet Lizzard in the TV.Enjoy Belize. Bill in FL So glad you posted. Will check this out with my 5 & 6 year old in November!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooh72 Posted August 30, 2012 #47 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Me and my son did the Chocolate Tour last month on our Magic Cruise. The tour only takes about 2 minutes as the Chocolate Factory is not very large inside. However, it was very interesting to hear how the chocolate was made. My son wanted to make his own chocolate bars. I thought he would actually be in there mixing and melting chocolate. But that wasn't true. They bring out the chocolate to you and you place different toppings on them. Then the bars have to set for about 10 - 15 minutes. In addition to the bars my son made we also bought a couple of more for family members and they loved them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abear2 Posted September 6, 2012 #48 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thank you so much!!! I have been there a couple of times before, but never saw this. Maybe it wasn't there or I just missed it, but I won't miss it anymore!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
