6. Hammond's Candies
Location: Denver, Colo.
What's Cool: They still make their candies the old-fashion way.
------------------------------------
You don't have to tune-up the sleigh and travel to the North Pole to visit a candy cane factory, especially not with Hammond's Candies churning out their peppermint sticks and other sweet treats in Denver, Colo. Don't expect to find any machines at Hammond's though, as candy making at this factory is a hands-on labor of love. Visitors can watch the lollipops, candy canes, ribbon candy and other confections as they are stretched, squished, twisted, kneaded, and shaped by expert hands. While visitors will not learn the secret recipe handed down over three generations, they will be pleasantly surprised with a handmade candy treat to take away and enjoy on the road.
