Last Spot on the Tour - Dorothy Cox's Chocolates
Thank you to the Cox family for hosting us at the store!
 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
The RCI New England Chocolate Tour notebook includes information about each store.
