Chocolate can also come in many shapes. Tom and Leopold fill the molds.

Molds are spun in this custom made tool to properly form the shape.

Finished ducks are displayed on the counter.

The sensory experience continues. Not only did we get to see chocolate and smell chocolate, we also got to taste chocolate too. It was delicious.
