If you grew up envious of Charlie Bucket and his trip inside Willy Wonka's factory (and who didn't?), this is the next best thing.

Host Marilyn Guzman takes us behind the scenes at Schakolad Chocolate Factory in Sundance Square, where owner Lindsey Ross is preparing tray after tray of treats for Valentine's Day.

Watch Guzman get a lesson in how to hand-dip truffles — a personal touch for which Schakolad is known — then head into the store to stock up on all the goodies available for the sweetest holiday of the year.

Schakolad Chocolate Factory is located at 106 E. 4th St. in Sundance Square.
