Ethel M. Chocolate Factory has a separate room where all the candies are mechanically dipped and coated in chocolate through huge machines called enrobers. Once visitors exit from the main factory area, they are welcomed into the Ethel Chocolate Lounge. This is where free chocolate in the form of free samples is distributed.
