Is there anything better than free chocolate? How about a free chocolate tour? Since 1925, Angell & Phelps has been making luscious candy and chocolate the old-fashioned way.

Chalet Suzanne, Lake Wales

A soup cannery may not sound “souper” fun, but the creations at this beloved restaurant and inn are out of this world. In fact, this soup went to the moon with Apollo 15, and into space again with Apollo 16. The Smithsonian even carries its “Moon Soup” (as it’s nicknamed). Upon entering, belly up to the crock pots to taste scrumptious selections. Their No. 1 soup man, Taysser, will then take you on a free tour and show you how 10,000 cans of soup are produced each week. Soup can be purchased by can or case, along with “I got canned at Chalet Suzanne” T-shirts.
