Now, I don't find it hard to walk past Haighs, ever. not even when it's that time of the month and I may just kill someone for a hit of cocoa. I like to look in the windows but that is about as far as it goes for me, I think this is due to the price of Haighs products. For those of you who have a chocolate allowance each week I say, feast in style, even the wrapping makes my mouth water and if chocolate is your vice then indulge in style. This outlet is smaller than the one on Rundle Mall so if you're looking for huge variety and extravagant gift baskets then perhaps go there. Chocolate Panda = $9.95, it's worth digging up a tenner for this one.

And yes with every purchase, or upon request, you get a little freebie piece of heaven. This is the top shelf stuff, it's the kind of quality only money can buy (and probably a fair bit more coin than you usually fork out for choccies). From the cabinet full of delicious truffles, to the boxed hand-made soft and hard centres, it's all good. For the puritans out there the plain milk block is equally as divine as its more complex counter-parts. And the Speckles remind me of my childhood, albeit a more glamorous one than the real one involving Freckles. If you're trying to cut down on the chocolate (though why would you with a store like this around?) I find it very satisfying to buy the little Teddy Bears or Frogs as one goes further than a hunk of the cheaper stuff. My one big whinge (oh I hate when we fight) was they ran out of most stock the day before Easter - yes RAN out! A testament to their popularity but come on you've been in business for 95 years and all you do is make chocolate which Easter just may have a little something to do with. But Haigh's even with that kind of a right balls-up I just can't stay mad at you. In a nutshell - melts in your mouth!

They have a great range of sugar free chocolates as well as dairy free and they don't taste foul. Their extensive range of truffles is impressive and there is always something new to try. They also boast a great range of gifts at reasonable prices. They have a wonderful seating area upstairs and I love to sit there and have a coffee. They also have some great cake options and are now serving crepes. If in town, this should definitely be on your hit list.

Hopefully they will encorporate giving out samples to try in the future.

Umm yum!! Who doesn't love chocolate?…read more This little gem in Burnside Village sells chocolates (obviously) made in Adelaide by Swiss immigrants. There are also stores in city cross arcade and the central market, with the factory at Stepney. The chocolates are delicate and delicious, with many wrapped and presented as gifts, especially around Christmas, Valentine's, Mother's Day etc. They pretty much don't advertise and are very laid back business wise,therefore they don't seem as commercial as Haighs, Darrel Lea etc. But their chocolate is amazing! I love fruity flavored truffles and milk chocolate is my favourite. I don't like too much strong taste in my mouth, more smooth milky chocolate, and Swiss make chocolate's for everyone.

Prices are generally around 5 bucks per loaf so it's not exactly cheap but they usually sell their bread from the previous day for $3.50. And believe me, it's still nearly as good as fresh. I'd much rather get yesterday's bread from here than a fresh loaf from the supermarket for the same price.

A…read moreveritable treasure trove for the sweet tooth is the Menz... or fruchoc factory, as it is colloquially known. If you've read any of my other reviews it's probably clear that I'm far more interested in wine than sweets, but without fail I am cajoled into visiting by well meaning friends each time I'm down in the Vale. Big bags of all the goodies made by the company are available and you can pick up factory seconds at bargain basement prices. Menz make the iconic South Australian confectionary 'fru-chocs', a processed apricot centre, covered in chocolate, resulting in a ball slightly larger than a malteser. They are also known for the medlow gums which mums and nannas tend to be fond of - they are undeniably delicious. I like it when they're making stuff in the adjoining work room and you can watch them cutting sweets or spinning fruchocs in the lolly cement mixer thingy. The shop is super easy to find, as it's on the main street, it also has an attached carpark for added convenience.

Open only on Saturdays and Sundays, Wendy makes a small selection of handcrafted choccies and sweets. My favourites- the donuts filled with raspberry and lemon curd, original brownies, speckle sticks, macarons . The list goes on. All her cakes are divine, I've lost track how many I've eaten. Chocolate lovers will die and goto heaven, they use some very different flavours but they all work perfectly. If I can't choose then the honeycomb and milk chocolate block is a winner, as is the pistachio and Turkish delight and the popcorn, honeycombed and milk choccy combo. If you are down south and Fleurieu bound on the weekends visiting here is a no brainer. This cute shop will transport you to patisserie heaven!

There is, however, a world of difference between your $3 a block, movie session choc and top class, all your taste buds giving you a high five, individually packaged amazingness! Haighs is most definately the latter! Although there are a number of stores around (all good of course), I prefer the store on the corner of Adelaide Arcade on Grenfil Street. The store itself screams class, and in my opinion makes the choccie frogs taste all the sweeter! It aint cheap though, so don't expect to come out with a shopping bag full of 'regret it in the morning' for a couple of gold coins! Like good cheese though, top class Chocolate is worth the expense....especially when you eat it.
