Growing up with Willy Wonka, I had high expectations of what a chocolate factory should be and after my first visit to this shop, I was not disappointed. It's been a little over 8 years that I've been making memories here with my family.
There's nothing better than consuming guilty pleasures that you know have been made fresh with simple, fine ingredients, from a place that pays attention to all details.
The Chocolate Nugget Factory is more than just a chocolate shop. It's the success of a man driven by the want to support his family while providing good quality treats for all to enjoy.
The Chocolate Nugget Factory delivers on all levels, with treats that you love and new ones to discover, and customer service that never fails.
It's a unique shop with a "Wild West" feel that you won't find just anywhere and I always leave happy and eager for my next visit.

Must Try Treats
*Caramel Popcorn is so fresh, delicious, and addicting. It's pretty sweet, great for those with sweet tooths
*Roasted nuts are always fresh and taste like the holidays
*All of their taffies are true to their flavors, great in texture with just the right amount of sweetness *Chocolate-dipped pretzels are super crunchy, well-balanced, and not too sweet.
*Peanut Brittle is amazingly thin and fresh: a brittle like no other that will not break your teeth.
*Their fudge is so delicious and always made fresh. Chocolate walnut, divinity (like marshmallow + nuts), peanut butter chocolate are all so drool worthy.
*Chocolate dipped ice cream. Dipped in real chocolate and topped with toppings of your choosing
Notes
-They have another location at the bottom of the Virginia City Foothills, where all of the candy is manufactured. Viewing window available where they make candy. There you will also find stellar service.
-free fudge samples
-The drive on 395 from Reno to the shop is scenic and relaxing. Alternatively, you can take side streets. Take South Virginia all the way down toward Carson City and you will find it on your right.
-I love going to Davis Creek Regional Park and Bower's Mansion nearby for a nice walk or hike before visiting the factory. Washoe Lake State Park is also nearby.
-If you drive around the Washoe Lake/Little Washoe area, you can find wild mustangs and farm animals
