Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!
While it may not be possible to tour their facility and while it may also be difficult to see how they can make such great chocolate a mile high in the thin Denver air, Hammonds’ candies continues to bring delicious new treats that seem to come out of thin air (or at least from their website, https://hammondscandies.com).
Created over 100 years ago, the Hammond family started a small candy shop in the mountains. Since then, they have been expanding their menu and their reach and reaching new heights with every sweet step.
In addition to their famed sour bites, classic art candies (which come in such shapes as peace symbol and smiley face), Mitchel Sweets (which wrap caramel in a sweet marshmallow confection), and an array of lollipop and candy cane flavors (many of which are organic!), Hammond’s also offers Australian-style licorice, cake-flavored cookies, and big bags of flavored marshmallows and popcorn. Among their 18 chocolate bar flavors are PB&J, soda pop, and even chicken and waffles!
Having revived the recipe for Old Dominion sugar pecans, Hammond’s also sells creations from other confections, including Mega Smarties and Air Heads. For the calorie-conscious, they offer Marshmallow Fluffs, with fewer than 100 per serving and also puzzles and other inedible treats that make for great additions to any gift package!
