snack break
Kristin admits that
she spent many of her
breaks nibbling on the
treats that covered the
set. “Instead of eating
lunch, I would find myself
reaching for the trees
from Lollipop Woods—
which were cotton
candy!—and then I’d be
bouncing off the walls.
Going to sleep at night
was hard because I was
eating so much sugar,”
she says.Thinking big
Many of the larger
structures were
sculpted from
rice cereal treats,
plus modeling
chocolate, fondant
and buttercream.
Melted chocolate held
everything together.
baked fresh
The set contained so many treats
that a dedicated culinary team
baked fresh cookies and made
homemade marshmallows for
every episode. You can see their
handiwork on the gingerbread
house near Chocolate Mountain.
