Local holiday candies [View All]

[eleny]

Just a reminder to long time residents and a heads up for people new to Colorado.

Enstrom's and Hammonds are two candy makers with local factories.

Enstom's is a third generation candy company. Toffee is their specialty. A local favorite here in Colorado that can be found sold in lots of stores.

They make a peppermint cookie bark I want to try this holiday season.

Hammond's, since 1920, has all sorts of traditional holiday candies like ribbons, straws and pillows. They even make old fashioned clove pillows that I want to try this year. The factory is n Denver. I used to go to the location on 29 Ave in NW Denver. But they changed hands and moved. I understand that the candy is made the same as it always was. But they have added a natural line for people with allergies to food dyes.
