Update: Hershey's announced on Tuesday, January 27, 2009, that the Scharffen Berger factory in Berkeley will be closing at an undisclosed date in 2009. They expect to keep the chocolate cafe and retail store open at the same location, but factory tours will no longer be available once manufacturing stops.

The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Factory is located in Berkeley, California, and offers free guided tours of the factory. Scharffen Berger does allow cameras inside the factory, so what follows is a step-by-step photo guide to the Scharffen Berger factory, with an explanation of how their chocolate is made.
