Founded in 1920, the oldest continuous business on Denver’s candy scene is Hammond’s Candies, a purveyor of handmade hard candies and chocolates. It’s not necessarily a brush with gourmet greatness – these are the kind of sweets that one might refer to as a ‘tasteful introduction to the joys of the palate’ – but they are sweet, and they are made by hand. Now, whose website isn’t going to lead you to a conclusion of that variety?

10. Laura's Fine Candies

Come on down to Laura’s Fine Candies before heading back to your holiday camp. After a day in the wild with hiking boots, a few colourful jelly creams may be an antidote after a long day of activities.
