Thursday Beavers have recently visited The Original Manx Fudge Factory in Ballasalla. There was much excitement, even before the trip began! The visit started with a demonstration of fudge making – the Christmas Fudge – which included almonds, cranberries and cinnamon as well as the sugar, cream, butter and condensed milk – I think! The Beavers were then invited to sample some of the different types of fudge produced in the factory – the parents and Leaders seemed to enjoy this part too! Favourites included the Belgian Dark Chocolate and the Manx Butter and Cream. We also tried some Manx Mint Cake which was particularly nice.

Once the tasting session had finished the Beavers were able to see chocolate lollies being made and everyone had their own lolly to take home. After some juice the Beavers went shopping and brought some boxes of fudge, bars of Mint Cake and some more Chocolate Lollies. We then headed back to the Scout Hall – luckily not to giddy on sugar!
