The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a chocolate shop in the heart of downtown Charleston. We stumbled upon it while trying to get to the Natural History Museum. My wife is a big fan of chocolate in general, so I pretty much knew there was no way we were going to skip it. I find it a little weird that they chose the name, because South Carolina’s closest mountain range is the Appalachians, and the Rocky Mountains are on the other side of the country.
It’s a very tiny candy shop, so when it’s busy, it can feel kind of claustrophobic. Sure enough, almost everyone in front of us wanted the ice cream they served, which took a very long time.
The sweet treats in their cases actually looked really good. Sometimes I see places like this and think they aren’t worth the money, but I was more tempted than I usually am. Everyone got a treat on the way out, and the lady who served us gave Alex a sample of ice cream because he wanted one, which I thought was sweet.
My treat was a marshmallow-dipped dessert covered in M&Ms. The marshmallow was really good, but I found the M&Ms a little overwhelming, which was odd because I can usually eat a bunch of M&Ms on their own. That’s not really their fault, and if we happen to be in the area again, I definitely want to try one of their (Reese’s Cup-like) peanut butter cup desserts.

I’m with your wife. Give me chocolate. I wonder if the sweet M&Ms on top of the super sweet marshmallow was too much sweet.
I love chocolate too! I’ve heard of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Now you’ve made me want to eat some chocolate.
Looks like fun 😀 I don’t really have a sweet tooth, more into savoury 😀
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was founded in Durango, Colorado in 1981. Unfortunately, I have a RMCF store three miles from my house. 😂. I’ve been having trouble publishing my comments, so I’ve tried logging in. I’m adding this one in, because I don’t think it published on your $100 post. “So interesting, Adam! I was fascinated to see shredded bills of various US denominations being added to drilling mud when I worked in the Kansas Oil Patch. If the drilling mud started flowing into a porous rock formation instead of circulating back to the surface, the roughnecks added the shredded bills to plug up the porous rocks. I really did love working on drilling rigs. Endlessly fascinating.”
