Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

 Ok guys, trying to wrap up our 16th Street Mall adventure with a few last posts that we cannot neglect to mention, one of those being the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. After walking past and smelling the enticing aromas that floated out of their several locations we passed by....Ahnah couldn't take it anymore and stopped in. 

Think of a smaller scale Willy Wonka's and you would be close to what you experience when you walk in the door, (minus the Oompa-Loompa's of course.) there is literally candy everywhere. To be honest, it's actually overwhelming to the senses. It was almost a little stressful! Too many options, which isn't a bad thing when it comes to chocolate. Now, Ahnah will tell you she isn't a huge chocolate person, which is true....unless there is also fruit involved. Her eyes immediately fell upon the lemon and orange rind dipped in dark chocolate and it was over. Purchases were being made. Brad......Brad on the other hand is a recovering chocoholic. We say recovering since he has cutback due to an increase of kidney stones. Do we still keep chocolate on hand? Of course! It's just not eaten at the pace it used to be around here. 😢

While the shop itself was VERY nice...the employee...not so much. She had seemed friendly enough to the previous customer but seemed very rushed with us. She was polite but not what I would call "friendly". In fact, we would have purchased a few more items if she hadn't made Ahnah feel like she didn't have enough time. We're willing to chalk it up to the fact that we went slightly after they had opened and she did have some decadent delights to whip up before they got busy. 

We purchased a small amount of fudge, as well as an assortment of truffles. Ahnah wanted to purchase her chocolate covered peels and the cashier said she would throw some in for free as we spent a pretty penny....BUT we don't consider one being thrown in the box as "some". Oh well, chalk one up for experience. 

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory= ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The chocolate was very high quality and you could tell it was made fresh in house and not shipped in. Brad really liked the Bailey's Irish Cream truffle he had as well as the fudge. Honestly, every truffle we bought was excellent. The reason they are being given 4 stars is the customer service. I don't think we expect too much but a little niceness goes a long way for us.
