One Of The Best Candy Counters In The World Is Right Here In Colorado

Do you want to know what I miss? I miss candy stores, soda fountains, and other nostalgic gems that I grew up seeing on old black and white TV shows (I'm not quite 30 and therefore missed the train on experiencing them for myself). While bags of generic candy are easy to come by, buying them from a big-box chain just isn't as special, which is why I'm giddy to have discovered this epic Colorado candy counter that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth:

Located in charming Georgetown is the equally charming Georgetown Valley Candy Company, who invites you to come in and enjoy their lovingly crafted treats.

Re-opened by its current owners in 1985, Georgetown Valley Candy Company is a family-owned operation that boasts not only a fun and friendly atmosphere...

...but also an old-fashioned storefront with talented candy-makers showcasing their craft for everyone to see.

What kinds of homemade goodies can you find at Georgetown Valley Candy Company? They have a huge variety of melt-in-your-mouth chocolates and truffles...

...decadent fudge...

...buttery caramel corn...

...and seasonal treats that you can't find anywhere else.

I will take one of each, please!

Georgetown Valley Candy Company is located at 500 6th St. in Georgetown.

They are open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
