FORT
REBUILT ... WITH CHOCOLATE
Preserving history: The sweet smell of success

Going into business should be more sweet than
sour, and for a group of enterprising technology education students at
SUNY Oswego, it certainly was.
With some help from Man in the Moon Candies, the group developed and
produced chocolate molds of historic Fort Ontario for a project in their
manufacturing class.
The students’ manufacturing class required them to form groups and work
together on a semester-long project, which entailed conceptualizing a
product, manufacturing it and then selling the finished product. The final
hurdle of the project was that the group had to actually make and sell 99
units of their created product.
