Open Fire Mixer

Although See's has top-secret proprietary machinery that's used to make many of its chocolates, certain items are still made using the original method of mixing over an open fire. "The acidity of certain creams, like the apricot, strawberry, and orange creams, doesn't work well in our machines," Paine explained. Here, ingredients will mix over an open flame at a temperature of 242º-244ºF.

GKitty, they don't give tours to the public. This was a private tour for all the Sugar readers!
