  • For a century, Hammond's Candies has been hand-making its world-famous confections in Denver. Clearly, there's something sweet in the water out there-so for the latest episode of the Popular Mechanics series "MADE HERE," we visited the factory where old family recipes and a love of artisanal products continue to make Hammond's a magical place.
    It all began when Carl T. Hammond, Sr. dropped out of high school and got a job as an apprentice at a candy factory. After years of toiling at different factories, Hammond ventured out on his own and opened up Hammond's Candy Company in 1920.

    Amazing but they better have the woman with the tattooed arm heavily insured. She's incredible. That kind of confidence can only come with a lot of practice!

    Looking at how much pressure they are using to make candy makes me want to appreciate more and more. I am really glad because of these people if it weren't for them we wouldn't have enjoyed candy.

    I love Hurcleys candy making videos. They don't have all the big machines and do alot of hands on candy making.

      I agree I was literally coming into the comments to say that it's kinda point less to say handmade if your using Machines Hercules does little to no machines at all

      frank hill I know what you’re talking about. This company uses the rotating machine and Hercules candy, there’s a big hook on the wall. The person pulling and wrapping the candy on the hook in motions.

    Poor lady and her back, ugh bet they are so sick of candy. I feel for her and all those people and the lifting. Hard work and see not much staff. Yep we know how that goes. Interesting to watch, but can just feel how it is day after day. Great workers there! Thanks for your hard work! 😊

She give you a big lollipop and you end at the shopping store.. make sure you take pictures with the old truck outside.... hey is free about 25 minute tour or so...
