  10. I love this list, pinned for later 🙂

    P.S. The Oklahoma Factory is Braum’s with an M, we used to live there and they make THE BEST ICE CREAM and milk!!!

  11. Thank you for this great list! I grew up going to the Jelly Belly factory but have yet to take my own kids! I had no idea Reno had one, we were just there and looking for things to do with the kiddos. And the Pez and Ben and Jerry’s states will have to go on our travel wish list!

  12. I live in NC and will be checking out the chocolate factory next time I’m near Ashville. Thanks for sharing 😊
