Dewars Ice Cream Field Trip

We got a field trip to Dewars Ice Cream in downtown Bakersfield.

First we put hair nets on. Then we went to see were they made Dewars chews. They were making almond chews the day we were there.

They used 50 pounds of marshmallow, 25 pounds of almonds and a lot of sugar and corn syrup. Then they rolled it up and put it in a machine and that machine rolled it out and cut it and wrapped it. They poured out into a box at the end of the belt.

As we left the candy place he gave us an almond chew.














Then we went to their freezer where they put the ice cream after they make it. It was 10 degrees below zero. We got to put our hand in it. It was soooo cold. They keep the ice cream in this big freezer for a few days to get it really frozen.













Next we went to where they made ice cream. On the day we were there, they were making peppermint and strawberry ice cream. They crunched up peppermint candies and put it in the ice cream. It looked really good.













Lastly, we got to get a scoop of ice cream. I chose chose chocolate ice cream and my friend Jordyn chose strawberry. It was a fun ending to the field trip!
