Alfonso also learns how they make their famous Moose Munch popcorn, which is a sweet and savory snack made with popcorn, caramel, chocolate, and nuts.

Next up, Alfonso explores a snack that is perfect for summer: ice cream. At the Graeter's factory, they make their famous ice cream using a unique French pot process that results in a creamy texture and intense flavor. Alfonso learns that Graeter's is known for their black raspberry chocolate chip flavor, which is made with fresh black raspberries and chunks of dark chocolate.

Finally, Alfonso visits a factory that makes a snack that is both healthy and indulgent: coconut chips.
