The tasty stuff sold at the newly opened Rocky Mountain Moun-tain Chocolate Factory just off the main steps as you begin the climb up to the Park City Ski Area plaza is definitely chocolate of the second variety. The real stuff, with prime ingredients. The kind of chocolate that tickles your throat all the way down. "Everybody likes good chocolate," says Bruce Howard who, along with his wife Doreen, runs the place. "Our base chocolate is Gyt-tard Gyt-tard one of the best made. Every piece of chocolate in our store is hand-made and hand-dipped," says Howard who makes some ingredientssuch ingredien-tssuch as caramel on the premises. He opened the store on Nov. 15 and reports that business has been pleasantly brisk. "I hope it stays this good through the spring," says Howard. "Everybody's been really receptive. We're establishing a reputation and building a local clientele who come back frequently. When they come in once, they usually come back again." it's quality, not quantity, that keeps them coming back for more. The store sells scarcely more than a couple of dozen items. But each candy is distinctive. "All we sell is candy, dipped dip-ped fruit and fudges," says Howard noting that most items are sold by the pound. "Everybody seems to love the caramel apples." He says he's been selling about 80 of those confections daily. "Other big sellers are peanut butter fudge, caramels and our turtles, which are huge some weigh a half pound." The candy is displayed on heaping trays inside wooden, glass-front display cases. "Since 1 had previous experience ex-perience in the construction business before opening this store, I designed and built virtually the whole place," he says. His scheme depends entirely on oak, brass and mirrors. "I tried to make it clean and simple sort of antique an-tique looking. I thought it blended well with the resort and Park City in general." Bruce and Doreen are native Californians who have never lived here before opening the store. "After deciding to open the store, I flew here last April to look for a spot," says Bruce, who regrets he's only been able to get away from the hubbub of stone construction and business responsibilities for two afternoons to ski. The Park City candy store is part of a Colorado-based chain of Ricky Mountain Chocolate Factories.
