As we left the zoo, Phil thought it would be fun to take the kids to see this. We pulled in the parking lot at 2:56 p.m, walked in and made the last tour of the day by just seconds.
A blurb from the factory homepage:
Hammond’s Candy Factory was started in 1920 by Mr. Carl T. Hammond, Sr. Over the last 86 years, the "Mile-high" city of Denver, Colorado has seen a number of fine chocolate and candy manufacturers come and go. But the candy company founded by Carl T. Hammond, Sr, in 1920 is one that is still very much in business.At Hammond's Candies® today, we still make candy the way Carl Hammond made it, with the same tempting recipes and the same careful craftsmanship. Toffee is still dipped in rich chocolate and hand-rolled in crunchy almonds. And hard candy is still hand-pulled to extra-shine. Yet, even with all that handwork, we still make and offer hundreds of different candies. Chocolates and creamy caramels fill our showcases, along with brittles, lollipops, candy canes, and much, much, more.
After watching a short video demonstration of the candy making process, we got to go in and watch the candy makers at work. They definitely use their muscles at this job!!
Of course, we had to go into the store and buy some samples for the ride home.
