Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is an international chocolate chainstore that first opened in…read moreColorado in 1981. Their website says that they use generations-old recipes and that they handcraft chocolate in copper kettles. This location is inside the Erie mall. When my husband and I walked into the store, an employee looked at us but did not say hello. I think that English is not her first language, but she could have greeted us. The display cases showed products such as buckeyes, orange cream, cherry cordials, chocolate-covered pretzels, bark, caramel apples, chocolate-covered strawberries, truffles, pecan clusters, fudges, etcetera. A menu listed prices such as $24.95 per pound for most products and $5.50+ per caramel apple. I selected one chocolate peanut butter cookie and one caramel pretzel bark, and my husband chose one chocolate-covered Twinkie. We both thought that these treats tasted fresh and sweet, and I would rate them as 4 stars each. My husband commented that the bark was expensive.

You won't be disappointed!

We stopped at the sweet aunt on my birthday to get some cupcakes, and they did not disappoint! The…read moreshop has limited hours, but the "vault" is like a vending machine for different treats of theirs including macaroons, cupcakes, cake pops, cheesecake on a stick, and even some gluten free goods and is always open and restocked daily! (Dangerous that it's next door to my gym, haha!) the shop is also decorated very cute, in a nice area, and I think their branding is adorable! We just got the assorted cupcakes to get a range of different options, and they were amazing! I think my favorite was the vanilla cookie dough cupcake, but it was so hard to pick - I really liked them all, and that's saying a lot as I'm not too big on sweets like this! They were so satisfying. One of my favorite things about icing on the lake is the businesses relationship and communication with the community and their customers, if you have facebook, definitely check out their Facebook page! They have their own page for the "vault" where regularly ask for feedback - what new treats people would like to see added to the vending machine, what flavors they'd prefer, etc.

The prices are a bit steep, but quality of items definitely makes it worth it. The actual interface could use some tweaking. Which I'm surprised hasn't been updated and they've been open for a while now. It feels glitchy and any descriptions are lacking. Their fb page is usually updated, but it would be nice to see it on the order screen vs having to also look online. The items come out cold and it does say to let them come to room temp for best flavor which is true. The difference is worth the wait.

It's great as a high protein snack or on a salad or sandwich. They also have Majestic fresh baked bread available on certain days which typically sells out by the end of the day. The Co-op also has a kitchen that serves homemade soups, wraps, sandwiches and toast. They also make smoothies and fresh pressed juice. I tend to come here more for the fresh food than groceries but it's great that they have both available! This location does have a designated parking lot that's easy to find and you can always find a spot. The employees are always super friendly and helpful and the store is very clean.
