You have just found a golden ticket to meet the Willy Wonka of the Midwest!
His home is smack dab in the middle of the United States at Bissinger's chocolate in St. Louis Missouri. Dan Abel Jr. has become a legend in the candy business as he has transformed candy from pure imagination into real products inside the chocolate factory that he and his family has owned and operated since 1981. Meeting up with him and learning about how far back the chocolate company Bissinger's goes is mind blowing. From the first step into the candy shop and making your way through the factory and having a huge chat with Willy Wonka of the midwest himself, this is an experience you dont want to miss! Just like the chocolate!
