Laura’s Fine Candies is a family-owned candy shop on East Elkhorn Avenue in Estes Park. Its website dates the business to 1970 and says the candy is still made the old-fashioned way: cooked in small batches in copper kettles and stirred with wooden paddles.
The site describes Laura’s as the family’s original location and the place where most of its candy is currently made. It also makes a point of the elevation, saying that cooking at about 7,000 feet gives the candy its own texture, look and taste. The site does not name the owners or say who Laura is.
What they do
Fudge, toffee and caramel apples are the items the shop’s Visit Us page leads with, along with a large assortment of chocolates. The site also lists caramels, taffy and popcorn, and mentions homemade ice cream. Everything is made by hand in batches, according to the site, and the shop is open year-round.
