Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

Used to enjoy the chocolate covered twinkies but the couple times the twinkies were stale

I love chocolate, more specifically chocolate-​caramel covered apples, so Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is my heaven. After waddling out of Houlihan’s because we ate far too much, we had to walk past this place to get to our car. After seeing the giant chocolate covered caramel apples and cherries in the window, I had to stop in.
The two young girls working behind the counter greeted me as soon as I entered. They were very nice and asked if I needed any help. When I responded that I just wanted to stare and drool at all the goodies, they kindly let me know what new items they had and showed me their most popular candy covered apples… CHEESECAKE APPLES! Oh lord.
This place had chocolate covered everything, but aside from the stuff behind the glass cases, they had really great gift baskets and other items to bring to parties and events. They had the cutest chocolate dipped pretzels that were made to look like a tuxedo and a wedding gown and cute caramel covered apples with graduation caps on that read «2014» in icing for graduation parties.
The only reason I didn’t give this place five stars is because they really didn’t have any great deals going on (they never do) and they are pretty expensive. I would never pay what they are asking for their chocolate covered strawberries or cherries because it’s absurd for something so small, but their giant chocolate covered apples are a completely different story!

I’ve only been here once and was surprised that the candy/​chocolate apples were not kept refrigerated to prevent them from getting mushy. I do think they sell them at a bargain price, I can remember Neiman’s charging $ 10 for them back in the late 80’s! I was looking for a chocolate fix and zeroed in on the truffles, bought 6 of them and for snorts and giggles got some chocolate covered pretzels. The truffles were mediocre, but the pretzels were really good. I get the impression that if you have a real taste for chocolate junk food, this is a great fix… chocolate covered cookies, potato chips, pretzels and other novelty items this is the place. But if you are a serious chocoholic looking for amazing truffles, you may come up short. I am undecided on whether the truffles were stale or just not very good. It is worthy of another visit, but it would be on my way to someplace else and not a special trip. Just sayin’

Well I bypassed sending in this review when it actually happened back in April but we bought 4 caramel apples of different assortments. This cost us as we all know a small goldmine since I think they run almost $ 10 a piece.
The first apple no problem… the next one was mushy and mealy and then when I saw that I cut into the next one just to check and the same disaster. I’ve never returned food before but I was mad. So we brought back three apples and asked for our money back.
Then we got this coupon for a free assortment of chocolates that started this past Monday. It says while supplies last. Well we went in on Tuesday morning and they said they ran out. Seems to me like you don’t really run out of chocolate when that is what you make. I think it’s a scam that they didn’t honor this coupon on the second day of the promotion. Should have made the coupon say– to the first 20 customers or something like that.
Now we’re done going here.

Stopped by in the spur of the moment after dinner. We got $ 30 worth of chocolate (which wasn’t a whole lot, but excellent stuff!). I love the mint truffles and the hubs loves the peanut butter fingers (although we also got the peanut butter cups which somehow still managed to be untouched in our kitchen, miracles!). We went back the next day and got our favorites while a friend got 2 caramel apples (SO many to choose from!) Definitely coming back!

My new favorite place for dessert! I first heard about Rocky Mountain at my sisters wedding, where she had their adorable bride and groom apples on each table. I was a little skeptical at first, being a frequent Fannie May shopper, but the pecan bears at RMCF blew their turtles out of the water! Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with a delicious sample and a friendly face behind the counter… The caramel apples are TO. DIE. FOR. (a reason to stop by in itself). I am a peanut butter fanatic, and the options are endless. There are the Tiger Butter apples, the avalanche bark (aka a peanut butter rice krispy treat mixed with chocolate chips and a little white chocolate), the peanut butter brittle (which is like the inside of a butterfinger), and finally, MASSIVE peanut butter cups. Needless to say, I have found my little slice of heaven at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory :)

A lovely store with lovely candy and friendly staff. It’s a great stop for chocolate, homemade caramel, or the odd novelty (still can’t believe I found a hot air balloon-​shaped chocolate lollipop just days before my mom left for the hot air balloon festival in New Mexico!).

Holy crap, the white chocolate dipped oreos. They’re proof that there is a *insert personal diety here* and that s/​he loves us very much. And wants us to be happy.
Rock Mountain Chocolate Factory is right by the intersection of 59 and 95^th in Naperville, right by the Showplace 16 movie theater. Me and my choco-​holic significant other go here a lot to nurse our addiction, usually starting and ending with the dipped oreos and milk choclate truffles. Their fudge is also phenomenal. (Get the grasshopper: also proof that a high power wants me to go forth and prosper.)
One thing that is nice is that they have an extensive sugar-​free menu, which is super thoughtful and equally as delicious.
All in all, if you’re in the area, make a trip to Rocky Mountain. You will not regret it!

Like a kid in a candy store… that’s full of chocolate. Good place lots of selection.

Great little shop that we like to stop in after dinner across the street. The staff is always friendly, they are liberal with the samples and the chocolate is great. I’d never had chocolate covered potato chips and they let me try one, yay for free food :)
I even had this place made chocolate covered pretzel favors for my sister’s shower, they went over really well.

It was a delight of chocolate heaven inside. I got a peanut butter cup that was the size of 4 regular Reese for 5 bucks. That was with tax of course. I wouldn’t have felt so bad if it was actually good. The chocolate must have been stale because it just fell apart. When does the milky part come in? And the little peanut butter that I found had no peanut taste and looked quite odd. I think they need to stamp an experation date on these things. Because tucked in the side of this odd mall, I dought they get much business.

I see that there are other locations in the area but my first experience with this shop was this location. As its the only one I’ve visited, it feels like its not a chain. Does that make sense??? It feels like my personal, tiny, conveniently located chocolate shop.
My chocolate, caramel apple cravings started when someone at work had an apple for lunch, back in the fall. Apparently, I said a little TOO much about how delicious it looked and where was it from and why did they get it and how much was it and on and on because they finally gave me the rest of the apple just to hush me up. It was delish! :)
One or two slices wasn’t enough and so I went to get a whole apple for myself… a couple of times! And then I got a gift for my Grandad and my mom and a friend. Tonight I decided it had been a while and so I’d stop in for dessert. Each time, the apples are crisp, the chocolate is tasty, the service is friendly and fast and I don’t have a complaint.
I suppose its a little pricey when I think that a regular grocery store apple and a bar of Hershey’s from the checkout line would maybe be $ 2 with tax… but this way I don’t have to make it myself… If they had a drive thru window, I would be back much more often!
PS — They do send coupons via email… that’s a sweet treat too…
