I ran into one of these Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory stores on my way out of Denver last week. I didn't have much time to linger so I made some quick decisions and ran out. It's a good thing I did too, because they were making caramel apples in so many different flavors and toppings on the caramel. I could have ran out with some popcorn too. And who knows where it would have ended if I went through all the fudge.
RMCF is a franchised chocolate shop set up in various locations around the country and in Canada. The original shop and factory is in Durango, Colorado. This isn't a place for chocolate purists and snobs. Though I do think the Durango shop is probably worth a visit. You will need something like this after all the craft beer to be had in Durango. No, this is just a place for some creature comforts of old fashioned staples. There isn't anything extraordinary about the downtown Denver location, but it serves a purpose in a pinch. If nothing else, those caramel apples are worth it.
Here are a few of the goodies I picked up.
Haystacks
Milk and Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Large Peanut Butter Cup
Almond, Macadamia nut, plain English Toffee
