If you are a chocolate fan, there is no greater place in the world than Hershey Park.

Think of an amusement park - add chocolate and unique experiences - and you'll have Hershey Park, Pennsylvania.

I traveled here for a conference and enjoyed all of the lodging, history, and local sites.

They also have a museum and amusement park rides. But, I want to share about the chocolate world experience.

The space has a few different pieces: a store, a history ride, and some custom chocolate opportunities.

For example, one of the first stations I visited was a mega Reese cup that you could customize.

You start with a large, ridged chocolate cup. Then, you have a peanut butter face that can have all sorts of mix-ins.

I added M&Ms, pretzels, and marshmallows. This was all packaged up into the biggest Reese cup I've ever seen and, it was fun to know that I kind of had a hand in creating it.

You get to choose the filling, topping, and even the package design.

I added butterscotch chips to my chocolate bar and added sprinkles to the top.

And for the packaging, I was sure to add my name, because it's rare that I get to find it out in the wild.

There are some fun skits, like one where you learn how to taste the differences in chocolate.
