Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

I tried some truffles. The taste was OK. But all I want to say is that the price is Extremely HIGH! It wasn’t worth it at all! I would rather have Lindt at some grocery store. It would be much better and worthy.

We really got around today! Mum wanted to bring back a treat for the office so we ducked in here to pick up a box or caramels. That is probably my fav thing in the store. Just the perfect amount of vanilla flavoring — delish! Agree that the prices are steep but not too bad if you are picking up a little treat. The caramel covered apples are great and they will slice them for you. The best part of today was the sweet, polite employee who was very helpful and patient as we made our final selection.

Ok, not the best tasting chocolate. But the store does have some notable mentions. I tried 3 dipped marshmallows: One dipped in caramel, one dipped in chocolate and graham cracker crust (smore), and one dipped in generous oreo crumbles. The smore was a snore, but the other two were actually ok. We also bought chocolate covered potato chips. They had ridges, so you know what kind thems was. We felt like there was something missing… could be that the chip wasn’t salty enough to create that perfect ratio of salty and sweet. But, it left enough impression for me to want to experiment a chocolate covered potato chip recipe back at home.

No matter how many times I try their chocolate (and I try it often, since it’s smack-​dab in the middle of the mall, where I tend to lay around in the summer reading) I always find it sort of blah, and way overpriced.
Recently, they raised their prices even more! I went in to buy one piece of chocolate — it was a little caramel-​filled chocolate ball or something — and the register rang up two seventy-​something! I told the checkout girl never mind, and normally I’m way too nonconfrontational to do something like that — normally I just pay for the damn thing and go away mumbling — but there was absolutely no way I was going to pay practically three dollars for a tiny caramel ball that tastes like the 35 cent Lindt ones you see in Jones Drug.
Save your money, treat your taste buds, and go to Belvedere down the block.

Very nice for an expensive, but yummy and small treat during a walk on the mall!
