Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory, Belfast - Aunt Sandra's Handmade Candy - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Asking kids and even their parents about whether they are interested in entering a place that is filled with sweets; both will definitely shout out a big fat "YES", because who out there would not enjoy the idea of visiting a place that gives people the chance to make candy, chocolate and sweets and even better that the opportunity to taste it too!
Who has ever thought about visiting the Willy Wonka Factory, the one we all know becomes Charlie's Chocolate Factory by the end of the story. Sadly its not an option for most, but Aunt Sandra's in Belfast gives us an insight into the sweet making process with loads of flare and passion for small and big kids! Great fun! Really - a must do and no doubt we will do it again!
In Belfast, Northern Ireland, and instead of heading all the way to the old stories and books in order to get the chance to enter the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory, you could instead visit Aunt Sandra's candy place which is specialized in handmade candy, chocolate, and fudge; paradise for almost all the kids as well as the adults out there.
The interesting thing about this place is that it uses recipes that are 100 years old, trying to follow the same route Willy Wonka was following. This place in Belfast is nationally renowned as one of the finest purveyors of chocolates, fudge, and boiled sweets.
You might think that this place is only visited by locals but it has actually now become a tourist attraction in East Belfast since a lot of tourists tend to come and check it.
The visitors coming to Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory will go through a tour inside the place where they will get a "magical ticket" to see the actual and real making of the chocolate and fudge, and not just that, but visitors will also get the chance to taste during the production phase while enjoying the smells and taste of the old-time candy which they are watching.
Do you want to know "How to Make Sweets"? This is the video for you! We are taken through the whole process of making sweets - how it happens - boiled sweets and even candy floss! Don't watch if hungry lol :-)
The surprise which we knew during our visit to this magical place is that it could teach people! Yes, that is really true. At Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory, people could get the chance to register at the sweets workshop where they could learn to make their own chocolate pizzas, get the chance to make their lollipops, or else know the recipe for any other sweet they might be thinking about. The best thing about this workshop is that it is for all ages, so it is some fun time spent by the family, friends, and even the kids. At the end, there is a prize for the one coming out with the best and most creative chocolate centerpiece.
Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory opens its gate every single day from 9:30 AM until 6 PM, but on Sundays it opens at 10 AM and closes its gate at 6 PM, giving visitors the chance to come and enjoy this magical place where handmade candy is done any day during the week according to their own schedules.
From the Roald Dahl book - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - we now have two movies and for me, amazing memories! I remember the first time I seen this movie. We were visiting a friend's house in our local town and they had it on TV - WOW...I didn't want to go home! I remember the Willy Wonka Children and the Willy Wonka Gobstopper - wow! :-)
Which is your favorite - the original movie or the Johnny Depp version? Can you believe the original was in 1971? It was filmed mostly in Munich, Germany and in the USA with Gene Wilder leading the movie cast.
Even though we are crazy about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, we should keep reminding ourselves - and you as well - that this is a fictional character done for the kids years and years back, and it is not a real place that one could travel across the world in order to visit; we just wish it was real and we would have been already there.
PS - we love Wonka chocolate - and still dream they will do their own "golden ticket" competition Someday!
Belfast, Northern Ireland, is not just about Aunt Sandra's Handmade Candy as a place for kids to visit and enjoy their times, but there are still other places which we should mention, such as visiting the Belfast Zoo, getting the chance to enjoy the S13 in Belfast which is the place for creative art and urban sports (
