Oregon is famous for its stunning waterfalls, and we certainly can’t get enough of them. Recently, we’ve discovered a new favorite waterfall, and this one has a sweet surprise.
The Candy Basket has been in business since 1914, and the company produces the most delicious chocolates, confections, and saltwater taffy you’ve ever tried. While the candy is downright delicious, you probably have no inkling about what’s hiding inside this innocuous building.

Like something straight out of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, this 21-foot-tall waterfall is a cascade of Guittard chocolate. It looks and smells absolutely amazing.

Just in case you didn’t learn from the gluttonous characters in Roald Dahl’s book, you shouldn’t attempt to slurp this chocolate from the fountain. The 2,700 pounds of liquid chocolate have been flowing through the fountain for several years, and let’s just say that it’s not exactly edible at this point.
