Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

Tried a chocolate hazelnut truffle but was not impressed. I do not eat caramel apples but they have a large selection of them that look tempting.

This review is just for the seasonal pumpkin spice truffle. It’s not valrhona or guittard, but if you want your pumpkin spice fix get it with this vs a pumpkin spice latte.

I love this place! It makes me so happy to be in a place with so many chocolate products that are presented so beautifully.
The chocolate covered apples are DELICIOUS, same with the chocolate pecan bears (basically a turtle). It’s not the cheapest thing in the world at $ 3.50 but you will enjoy every bite.
The only reason this gets four vs five stars is because the service is just okay. I get disappointed when the employees of a place (that makes other so happy) don’t seem like they exactly ‘love life’.
Next time I would try the frozen chocolate covered banana and the ice cream. Both look delicious! They’ve got presentation down here.

I was out and about with my sister on a quest to satisfy our chocolate cravings. We’re both a little health conscious so we decided chocolate covered strawberries would do the trick! We walked into The Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory, overwhelmed by the amazing aroma, we walked up to their beautiful display of chocolates. We were pleased to find that they had the chocolate covered strawberries we’d been wanting as well as some other goodies we couldn’t pass up from the sugar free row. The display was very pretty and tempting!
The strawberries were just okay, the freshness wasn’t really up to par; and I thought that it was slightly strange that they weren’t even chilled. I bit into my peanut butter cup and cringed at the taste of the chocolate, it was an extreme bitter taste just wallowing in my mouth. I kept eating it though because the chocolate ain’t cheap! Once I got to the peanut butter center, it was a lot more stand-​able.
My sister tasted her sugar free chocolate covered pretzel and immediately put a disgusted look on her face, luckily a toilet was close by so she could spit it out.
We ended up giving the rest of our purchases away to a friend who enjoys just about anything.
I was extremely disappointed with the taste and quality of the chocolate. They should have done a much better job!

I love this place for an afternoon sweet tooth craving.
My favorite go to snack? Chocolate covered gummy bears. Their gummy bears are huge and plump! I usually mix the chocolate covered ones with the normal ones, and it’s a bag full of munchies for me. (apparently gummy bears are non-​fat, so it must be a «healthy» snack for me right?!)
My Grizzly loves the doggie snacks that they have. He inhales them and goes hunting for the rest of the bag that I carefully hide somewhere. However, he always finds them and once he does, the bag and remaining doggie snacks all disappear into the unknown realm of his basement.
Final point: the service is really great — everyone is so friendly and accommodating.

The chocolate chip caramel apples are huge and awesome!

Let me preface this review with «from someone like me (a dessert-​a-​holic) a meh is probably mind blowing to others.»
So I had just had fantastic pizza at Brava with my girly friend Ally and we decide we need chocolate or fro yo or ice cream or something. The closest store to fit that description: RMCF.
We walk over, me in my ridiculously beautiful and tall red stilettos. We start down the stairs and… BAMMMMMMMM!!! I fall right on my ass. I am not the kind of girl that falls in heels so to say the least I wanted to get my Chocolate and get the h-​e-​double L out of there. I ordered two chocolate covered strawberries and a peanut butter, caramel, white chocolate pretzel.
The strawberries were not chilled and a little… um… well they could have been fresher. As for the pretzel; it sounds delicious but the pretzel somehow ended up soggy and tasteless.

My first time to this one. I got hooked in Vail and then got some at Flatirons Crossing last week. Today I made a special trip to Pearl Street just for chocolate pretzels and I had to stand outside because the only person working was on a bathroom break. Think I will stick to the one at the mall!

I love stopping by here in the middle of the day to take a break from work, yummy sweets but a bit pricey.

While I can’t claim that this was a mind-​numbingly original experience, we’ve been descending on the chocolates I emerged from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory with all the fervor of a pack of hungry wolves, that, well, love chocolate since I’ve been back home, and I’d be remiss not to thank the ladies who helped me get the deal done.
It’s a relatively simple set up, storefront shot-​gun style, replete with various sorts of chocolates and chocolate covered items, candies, a la carte items and packaged chocolate goods. And even while I was a little distracted trying to find my way around, my purchase came together nicely enough in the end, and the proof was borne out in the (chocolate?) pudding: a solid sampling of dark chocolates, milk chocolates and various fillings, enough to make you open up. And say aaahhh.

ROTTEN APPLES!
I just wanted to write about my horrid experience there — as detailed here on this
there. They served my friend a rotten apple and when she returned to bring it back and complained, they wouldn’t even talk to her and called security on her. HOW DARE they treat paying customers like this?! We are filing a health department complaint on them, but we encourage you to avoid them in the meantime…
On a separate note, they have been written up on
before for among other things refusing to let a sick little kid use their restroom. (Maybe he had one of the apples).

I tend to dislike chains, but I didn’t know that this was one until I saw another location in Chicago several months later. They do what they do well, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I didn’t much care for the frozen banana, but their dark-​chocolate macadamia nut «bears» are some of the best candy I’ve ever eaten. The English toffee is also very, very good. This was my last stop on my way to the bus station and airport on my way out of town last April, and delicious candy is a great way to close out a trip.

What could possibly be better than chocolates made in-​house in a beautiful building with great ambience, and extremely convenient to the 16^th street mall? Well, you could have chocolates made in-​house in a beautiful building with great ambience and extremely convenient to the 16^th street mall, and add in fantastic service and lots of smiling faces every time I walk in the door.
Lucky for me, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory did just that. Now, the chocolates themselves, while delicious, aren’t world class– let’s get that out of the way right away. I’ve had better– usually imported, but even some American chocolate has surpassed this. But not by much, and not quite so fresh and convenient, and in such pretty boxes, and right downtown!
However, the real draw for me is how happy the chocolatiers behind the counter always seem. They must be pigging out in the back room (and then holding pilates class back there to work it off) to keep those smiles on their faces.

Since turning away the chocolate dipped Twinkies in Vail, I’ve been on a quest. The quest for the Chocodile (hostess’s version of the Chocolate dipped yellow sponge cake with creamy goodness inside).
After classes one Wednesday, I stopped by my local Chocolate dealer. though many scrumptious things were to be found behind the crystal clear glass counters, no chocolate dipped Twinkie. Mustering up the courage, I ask if they have such a thing. «No, but we should!» The two girls were nice enough to 1) offer up the phone numbers of some other RMCF so I could call and harass them in my search 2) offer to dip the Twinkie themselves. They told me what days they could be found behind the counter and what the best time would be to secure enough milk chocolate for dipping.
My mission may not be impossible, and now I have 2 tambourine girls. BTW tried the snowball truffle and Mmmmm (white and milk chocolate). The sugar free kahlua truffle… couldn’t tell it was sans real sugah.

The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a premier chocolateer (yes it’s a word, and an awesome one too) located right off of the 16^th street mall. The place is somewhat small, but has a huge chocolate (and other) selection.
For instance, this place also has gelato, which is like ice-​cream concentrate, and even has some sugar-​free confections for all you diabetics out there with a sweat tooth.
The place is somewhat expensive, but if you are in for some heart-​stopping, weight-​adding, deliciousness then this is your store.

Candy apples are displayed in the window with a frighteningly inviting air. Also, there is a giant stuffed bear out front, so, step right in for chocolate jazzy ambiance, complete with Jelly Bellies and Marvin Gaye. This place is hoppin’! The kids are running circles around me and the parents are chit-​chattering about, you know, things you normally would talk about in a chocolate store. Ooh, complimentary coffees! I like this place for sure. Choco-​covered strawberries! Staff is friendly and delightfully fudgey. Smells so good (of course); you must experience to believe.
