The chocolate treats at Big Sky Candy are also made from scratch and they're amazing. You can order candy from the company's website, but it's much more fun to browse (and sample) in person.
3. The Montana Chocolate Company is located on Main Street in Stevensville, which is a mere 20 miles from Hamilton.
