Heart Study Sees Merit To Chocolate

ASSOCIATED PRESS – MUNICH, Germany – There’s more good news for chocolate lovers.
Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to improve the function of important cells lining the wall of blood vessels for at least three hours.
The Study, involving 17 healthy young volunteers who agreed to eat a bar of dark chocolate and then get an ultrasound, found that eating dark chocolate seemed to make the blood vessels more flexible, which helps prevent the hardening of the arteries that leads to heart attacks.

Award Winning Store!

Sacramento Magazine (November 2004) named Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory as a winner for the "Best Candy Store" in Sacramento.

"Although See’s Candy took first place, and we came in second, it’s still a great honor," said Jerry Haws. Jerry also went on to say, "I would just like to thank everyone who voted for us, and for all the creative and funny emails, along with the phone calls, telling us we should ask for a recount. Especially funny was the email I received from the ‘Willy & Wonka Accountancy Corp.’ stating that they would do a professional recount for a flat fee of a one-year’s supply of our hand made caramel apples. I’m still waiting for them to let me know just exactly how many caramel apples that would be."

Three Quarter Million Caramel Apples Sold!

Jerry and Cynthia Haws are pleased to announce that on April 24, 2004, they have made over 750,000 Caramel Apples since their store opening in January of 1984.

"It’s intriguing to think about just exactly how many that is," said Jerry. "If the Caramel Apples including stick, were laid down end to end, the line of Caramel Apples would be over 71 miles long." Jerry also added, "If you stack the cases of apples we’ve used on top of each other, it would be almost a mile and a half tall… and to think about the butter we’ve used… it equals almost four tons!"

20th Anniversary

On January 15, 2004, Jerry and Cynthia Haws celebrated 20 years of confectionery excellence, always at the same location on the corner of 2nd and "K" streets in Old Sacramento. "It’s been a wonderful experience these past years. We’ve been blessed with a long following of dedicated customers, and of course, the very best employees anyone could hope for." Remarked Jerry at a recent Old Sacramento gathering of friends and customers. Jerry added he’s hoping for another 20 years of candy making. "Candy making is fun, and certainly keeps you out of trouble."

Gold, Greed & Speculation

The Sacramento History Museum has unveiled a new, permanent exhibition named: Gold, Greed & Speculation - The Beginnings of Sacramento City explores the first fifty years of Sacramento’s history, examining evidence that the city was much more than a Gold Rush boomtown. Visitors will discover that the city's past is marked by colorful characters from a variety of cultures. They will meet the individuals that forged the city, better understand its development and how its citizens withstood catastrophic floods, fires, and epidemics in the first years of its existence. Yet Sacramento's people persevered and rebuilt again and again, playing an instrumental role in establishing it as the capitol city of the State of California.
