DENVER – A bear in a candy store is nothing like a bull in a china shop. At least not this one.
A black bear went in and out of a Colorado candy store multiple times early one July morning, but he used the front door and didn’t break a thing.

The bear did, however, steal some treats from the Estes Park store, including English toffee and some chocolate-chip cookies dipped in caramel and milk chocolate called “cookie bears.”
Surveillance video at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory showed the bear prying open the door and grabbing some candy near the registers. He took the treats outside and ate them, then returned for more.
The bear made seven trips in about 15 minutes, finally leaving after a passing car apparently scared him away.
Store owner Jo Adams said Wednesday the bear managed to pop open the door because the deadbolt wasn’t completely secured.
She said the only evidence left behind was some dirt on a counter and some paper on the ground.
