Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

This is a must stop place if you are ever in the airport in Denver the smell just invites you in. See’s candy who?! this place is stuffed with delicious chocolate and with every possible nut-​berry and extras you can think of.
–late post by the way. I should have posted as I was there but had to catch a plane.

You’re here for the chocolate, right?! Yea, that’s what I thought. Get in there and order anything.

Nothing too far outside the box here, but what’s in it is delicious.

This Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is indeed smaller than the 16^th St. Promenade location in Downtown Denver, but this airport location gets the job done! Their chocolate-​covered Oreo’s are delicious, as are their seductive dark chocolate-​covered ANYTHINGs.
Yes, Godiva may be good, but their mass-​produced ganache doesn’t hold a candle to the goodness they’ve got at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. If not at the airport, definitely make a point of stopping at one of their locations if you’re in the area, especially if you consider yourself anything of a chocolate aficionado.

I can’t get enough of their caramel dipped apples. First of all, they use granny smith apples. THOSE ARE MY FRICKIN FAVORITE KIND OF APPLES. Secondly, they caramel coating is juuuuust enough. Not too thick, not too thin. I’ve tried making my own caramel apples before and couldn’t get the consistency right. Thirdly, the toppings they put on it are yummy and creative. I like to keep it simply with just almonds. They’re a bit expensive, but a nice treat for yourself.

A typical Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Friendly staff with decent chocolate. Nothing to rave about but definitely good if you need a quick chocolate fix.

Small selection for a Rocky Mountain, but extra star due to the location. Since I often travel thru Denver while on business, I am usually alone going to my destination. What this means is that there are no witnesses of people I know to give my guilt!
While there are a lot of temptations, I love the following:
1. Chocolate-​covered oreos (quick throw in the mouth if you need to run to your gate),
2. Chocolate-​dipped rice crispy treat (sticky, marshmellowy, chocolatey, yummy, so only good when you a traveling light and have a free hand)
3. Chocolate-​covered Toffee (buttery caramel, don’t get it so as to leave them for me, thank you in advance)
I love you Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Thank you for the contributing to guilty pleasures!

Had that monthly urge to send myself into insulin shock so I got the macadamia cluster (macadamias, caramel, and chocolate). Super yummy and hit the spot! Would love to try a candy apple next, especially since they slice it for you!

I was stressed from losing my phone in the Denver airport so… I decided to treat myself to a candy apple in between searching frantically.
I love candy apples because it’s only a little candy coating on a nutritious apple. I got the pecan apple and the flavor was just amazing! They have good customer service and offered to cut the apple making it much easier to eat.
I was sad to leave since I thought I would not have the chance to enjoy another delicious candy apple back in L.A., then my Sister informed me that they are a chain! yessss!!! I can get one at several malls back home now :)

1 of 2 on 16^th st downtown, cute little place, friendly staff.
They have all the normal yummies, apples made to order, bride and groom apples, chocolate strawberries, caramels, etc!
They also have a little bit of gelato in the store.

I’m a virgin to the Rocky chocolate phenom; correction: I *WAS* one, until 10 mins. ago. One wonderful, fresh milk choc. cashew chew later, my sweet+tooth urges have been quelled and I am back to being quietly crazy as opposed to anxiously nuts… speaking of nuts, go get one!!! @ $ 21.50/lb, I figure a chew weighs ¼ ! When in Denver, do as CO does!

When you take a train from one concourse to another, you know this place is worth it.
I was first introduced to these giant, caramel– and candy-​covered Granny Smith apples back in college when my Cali-​girl roomies brought home bundles for us to munch on. It’s healthy, no? Apples covered in nuts … oh, and just a smidgen of sugar. So during my last trip Denver, I spotted this shop and my mouth dropped. I think I spent some $ 40 on goodies for the flight and friends back home. This time around, it was nowhere to be found in terminal C, so I trekked over to B and found it on the map (for those who’ve been to Denver International Airport, you know how huge this airport is).
I was literally a fat girl in a chocolate store. I snagged the pecan and caramel apple, Oreo crumbles over white concoction apple, a brick of walnut fudge, and a bag of dog-​friendly «chocolate» covered dog treats for Mr. Tex-​Mex back home. The damage was only $ 25.
And if you think you have to wait to get home to devour these badboys, think again. They can slice them right there for you, as I explained to two business gentleman who were in just as much awe as I was, but more wary about the process of publicly consuming these giant, candied apples.
Don’t forget to snag some chocolate-​covered mallows, orange peels, strawberries and cherries, truffles, cookies, turtles (or, at least, their version of), pretzels, graham cracker bars … oh lawdy, lawdy. Just sayin’ that, dentist appointment needed ASAP!

We had a stopover at the airport in Denver, and I was hungry!!! Ate at Quiznos, and afterwards, I had that sudden urge of wanting something sweet. Luckily, next door was Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Ended up buying a white chocolate macademia cookie as well as some chocolate covered gummy bears… Both were very fulfilling and satisfied my sweet tooth. And might I add, the chocolate cover gummy bears were FRESH and not stale at all! =)
