The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is exactly what it sounds like: A chocolate shop. However, the most amazing thing they sell, in my humble opinion, is their Carmel Apples.  Now these are not like the Carmel apples at your local elementary school during the week of Halloween. These apples are tart and juicy and covered in Carmel, and then they are re-covered in a delicious variety of other toppings.  Each time I go, I am struck with the problem of trying something new or getting one of my old time favorites.

Oh, and this is one of my favorites! M and M's! 

Now, don't get me wrong, they have chocolates there too, and they are plenty amazing. But, nothing gets my taste-buds going like those apples. I am literally salivating as I write this.  Now, some of you might be saying, "Jeez Lady, calm down. It's just a piece of fruit dumped in some Carmel." And maybe you are right. Perhaps I am getting a little carried away. I will say this, try it if you go.  Split it with someone if you don't want your own.  You will either need to share or take some home (or take it back to the hotel room). It is far too much to eat all in one sitting.

Now, one of the great things about this place, as far as I am concerned, is that if you don't like apples, fine. They have chocolate and Carmel dipped marshmallows too. In fact, that is what we get our three year old daughter when we go.  It is not a super sophisticated treat, but it is on the cheaper side and she gets to feel grown up picking out her own treat. They also have ice cream. What's not to love here?

So, now that I have told you all about this fantastic chocolate factory, I'm sure you are wondering where they are located.  Well, they have two locations in Park City.  One is on beautiful Main Street (I'll be posting about Main Street soon) about 2/3's the way to the top on the North side.  The other location is at the base of Park City Mountain Resort. You can grab a treat on your way home from skiing or snowboarding any time.

So, if you are going to Park City I would give this place a 5 out of 5 rating as a place to visit while you are there. Then, go skiing and work off the calories!
