    Charbonnel et Walker have been making chocolate since 1875, and I think they've got the hang of it…read more The company is approved by The Queen (Elizabeth II, not Brian May and co), and the confectionery on offer is exquisite, both in taste and the appearance of their packaging. The shop itself is reminiscent of the one in the film Chocolat. There are aesthetically wonderful treats galore, with seductively rich smells wafting through the warm air. I bought some Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles last year for Mothers Day, and they were very well received. Although slightly excessive in price, the extravagance of the product for a special occasion is fitting. The Chocolat Charbonnel drinking chocolate is a far superior version of the usual product. Made with hot milk, the creaminess and rich flavours make the taste a delicious and complex one, without being synthetically sweet. I prefer the chocolaty delights of nearby Leeds-based Bon Bon's. I find their products more personal and the flavours more varied. However, if you need a more mainstream gift to impress, chocolates from Charbonnel et Walker would certainly achieve that.

    Deary, deary me this is the chocolate shop of dreams! Luxury upon luxury! Gearing up for…read moreValentine's Day, the window display is choc-full of lovingly-wrapped heart-shaped gift boxes complete with white roses and bows. Wow! So kitsch, yet somehow not tacky...just...beautiful! The sensuously curving gold letters swaggering across the window draw you closer...dare you enter? Dare you? I went in. The shop is quiet and I imagine rarely has more than one or two customers at once, except on February 13th! Of course, the chocolates aren't cheap...but how could they be? Where would be the decadence in that? But for that special someone...and considering the sheer quality and indulgence exuding from the classy packaging...the prices aren't through the roof. If just for a window shop, or to splash out on a special gift, I'd recommend you take a look!

    As a traditional sweet shop in its own right, Sweet Memories is a lovely little store. It sells at…read morethe usual suspects that you could ask for in a memory lane sort of shopping experience, after all, the name encourages one to look at it this way. Whether it's those flying saucers, the foam with the sour sherbert, lollipops, cola cubes, a quarter of barley sugars - all that lovely stuff is readily available. The store itself looks aged and timely, but not necessarily in a specific 40s fashion - I merely think the shop has aged. However, having been to the delights of other traditional sweet shops I couldn't pin this one down as my favourite. It depends, I suppose, how far you might be willing to travel for your trad sweeties, doesn't it? If it's merely convenience, and you live in Pudsey, then this is a fine option. If you are a die hard sugar fan I would suggest trying the likes of Otley on for size. Just an opinion, as they are all lovely sweet shops, but I can't get enough of Otley's Traditional Sweet Shop!

    Now, as lovely as sweet shops are, because of the nostalgia and niche market they are a part of…read moretheses days many tend to be all spick and span, highly trussed up affairs and carry the price tag to go with it. So as much happiness as they bring it is more of a treat than regular visit, as was in the old days. Sweet memories is something different, more like a corner shop sweet shop with a few presentation jars of sweets the shelves are packed with tubs full of old-time sweets and children buzzing around on E-numbers deciding which ones they'll get today. Liquorice lays open on wax paper, giant lollies of all sizes glair down at you, cola cubes, angel dust, peanut shaped peanut sweets, humbugs, the little scales and some modern twaddle from chuba chub.
