THIS AND THAT
The Taffy Shop, a family-owned store in Estes Park, has been awarded the top spot on USA Today’s list of the top 10 candy stores in the nation.
The Slack family opened the candy store and began handmaking gourmet saltwater taffy in 1935. In 2014, Lavona Slack retired and sold the shop to the Igel family.
Owner Mark Igel told USA Today that for the 89 years the shop has been in business, the taffy recipe, kept in a safe-deposit box, has never changed.
