The overview

Saltwater taffy at the foot of Pikes Peak

Patsy's has made candy in Colorado Springs since 1903, famous for its saltwater taffy, toffee, hand-dipped chocolates, and caramel corn. The 21st Street factory store offers free tours where visitors don a hairnet, watch the candy being pulled and dipped, and collect samples along the way.

A century-old, locally owned confectioner, Patsy's is a Pikes Peak-region tradition — its taffy and toffee a fixture of Colorado gift baskets and childhood memories alike.
