If teambuilding or a fun activity to boost morale is something you're planning, then this is one sweet way to accomplish your goal. Farris and Foster's, an Orlando-based chocolate boutique and factory, offers "chocolate fun nights" where groups are allowed into the on-premise factory to play with creamy, rich, dark or milk chocolate. Each person can design and create his or her own chocolate delights. Special chocolate puzzles complete with the company's logo, fresh ingredients to dip and more than 1,000 molds are available. —Shari Lynn Rothstein
