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.

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 16th 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.

What could possibly be better than chocolates made in-house in a beautiful building with great ambience, and extremely convenient to the 16th street mall? Well, you could have chocolates made in-house in a beautiful building with great ambience and extremely convenient to the 16th 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.

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.
