Hands-on tours begin again at Wilbur’s of Maine this Saturday. Wilbur’s is a Freeport Chocolatier. Guided tours of the factory will take place at 11 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:15 p.m. You’ll hear a little about Wilbur’s history, see behind the scenes at the factory, and make a little treat to take home. Tours last 30-45 minutes, and the cost is $4.50 per person.

 
 
On Saturday, September 13, visitors can dip donut holes in chocolate, dip the tops in sprinkles and add a pretzel stem. Make a bag of “donut hole acorns” for $4. The chocolate shop will be open from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

On September 27, use caramel popcorn, chocolate, nuts, toffee bits and other candies to make your own “Wilbur Crunch”. Drizzle the whole batch with chocolate, break it into pieces and bag it to go. The perfect sweet and salty treat. $6 per bag, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Wilbur’s is located at 174 Lower Main Street, Freeport.
