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.”
I love little candy shops like that. If you ever get up to Mackinac Island, the main road smells divine with all of the fudge the make there. Your wife would love it, I bet.
