Tour the South Bend Chocolate Factory
The South Bend Chocolate Company offers factory tours on the hour, every hour, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

At the end of the tour, dip your very own chocolate spoon to snack on while you peruse the on-site Chocolate Museum, which features chocolate memorabilia from around the world.
