Chocolate, Sweets & Ice Cream

Mmm, this shop permeates odors of sweet caramel and chocolate. It naturally tempts one to stop in and sample the numerous varieties of fudge and chocolate made on site.

Watch the staff craft delicious treats on spot including caramel apples dipped in a traditional copper kettle and homemade fudge spread on a granite slab. Enjoy warm samples while learning how these desserts are made. Don’t forget to pick up a signature sweet. Rocky Mountain is famous for their long-stemmed strawberries dipped in white and milk chocolate and giant chocolate chip cookies dipped in chocolate.
