Chocolate Kingdom, Kissimmee

At Chocolate Kingdom, cacao seeds metamorphose into trees and then transform into chocolate confections before visitors' very eyes. The kingdom, which does triple duty as a museum, micro-batch factory, and candy shop, guides guests from the cacao-tree greenhouse to the chocolate river to the assembly line during tours, which are led by a Chocolate Kingdom tour guide. Inside the micro-batch factory, old-fashioned machinery churns out treats, including personalized chocolate bars. At the end of the line rests the candy shop, where mountains of truffles, trays of sugar-crusted cocoa beans, and beds of rainbow-sprinkled candy line marble counters.
