Where is Colorado's Largest Candy Store?

Hammonds Candy Factory in Denver is absolutely one of the biggest and best in the state. Established in 1920, Hammonds is now in a 35,000-square-foot facility offering 30-minute tours to about 50 guests at a time. When you visit be sure to check out the 'Oops Room'. Candy that comes out imperfect or with flaws can be purchased at a reduced price. I wonder if the people at Snickers sell the bars that accidentally had raisins fall in them?

Colorado's Long-Lost Favorite Candy

Brecht Candy used to be a famous company in Colorado but they are no longer around. Perhaps Enstrom and Hammonds are the two largest candy makers that have stayed around the longest. Colorado is the original home of one of America's favorite hard candies, the Jolly Rancher. When introduced they came with an outrageous guarantee, "Jolly Rancher is the only candy guaranteed to be positively superior to any other you have ever eaten." The candy was made in Colorado from the 1950s to the early 2000s. They are now produced in Canada.
