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.
