These guys have a veritable treasure trove of Libby's canned pumpkin on the bottom shelf in the…read moreback. This discovery saved my toosh for Thanksgiving this year because USA Foods in Moorabbin screwed up my order and shorted me my canned pumpkin and I didn't realize it until the last minute. So, hooray for these guys! They made it possible for us to have traditional American pumpkin pie at our Aussie thanksgiving :) And now I have another can for Christmas, too! As for the other stuff they offer here, seemed like a bunch of junky sugary American cereals, sodas, and candies. And uniquely American things too, like graham crackers. I want to go back and peruse their sauces and stuff more closely and see if they have any Cajun stuff too, but what I saw briefly in my quick frenzied quest for canned pumpkin led me to believe it's mostly junk food here. Which is totally acceptable -- I just hope Australians don't judge us Americans based on the stuff they sell here, ha! We don't all eat like we're one snack away from diabetes, I swear. Price-wise, this place seemed comparable to or cheaper than USA Foods. It's a lot smaller, though -- really just a hole-in-the-wall. Honestly, I prefer Prahran Convenience for cheap imported foods from the U.S. and elsewhere, but this place is a bit more U.S.-focused than Prahran Convenience so if you're looking for a distinctly American product, you might want to try here first.

American and British candy and snax fans, get your fix on here!…read more When I need a sugar jolt from home, I beeline for the Tootsie Rolls and the occasional pack of Reese's Pieces. Watching a movie eating those makes the experience at least 68% more fun. They also have some really crazy stuff from America which gives me diabetes just looking at them, like Ice Cream Sundae PopTarts for $11 a box. For the peckish Brits, Terry's Choco Orange and wine gums out the wazoo along with some savoury snacks like Hula Hoops and Quavers are on the shelves. If you're going to stock up on Aussie faves, you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere. But for the special and international sucrose seekers, this is your heaven.

Shopping at Haigh's is like walking into heaven. It is just a wonderful place to be - unless you…read morehate chocolate, in which case you need to get to a doctor. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, ginger, hazelnut, peanuts, coffee - it's all here. My favourites? The milk chocolate orange tablet, or the premium dark chocolate tablet. Divine. Expect great service, the sales assistants are fantastic and helpful. If you can't make up your mind or just need some great advice make sure you catch their eye. All the varieties they have recommended to me or my family have been winners. If you are after a gift consider getting one of the selections that come in various sizes. There are ones devoted to particular types of chocolate, or enormous ones that have samples of almost every flavour. A word of warning: avoid at Easter or close to Christmas. Don't even try unless it is within the first hour of opening.

I don't mean that they simply pour their own chocolate in the molds or package it themselves... but that they manage the entire production process from the very beginning. From the raw cacao bean right through to the samples handed out by their staff. I've always admired their dedication to this entire process, one of the few Australian companies to do so. I also like that they go for classic flavours and don't do anything too "out there" when it comes to flavourings and fillings. Sure, interesting flavours are great - but Haigh's does classic chocolate excellently and for that I respect them highly.

I love their little chocolate (lolli)pops. The dark-choc-salted-caramel one is perfect when you desire just a tipple of something sugary. The only fault is that they don't have anywhere for you to sit and enjoy your heavenly dessert inside. A cafe extension would be perfect. For now, there is a bench outside which you could use, if you just cannot wait to get home to indulge. Totally understandable.

Well who doesn't like candy? Nobody. Everyone likes candy!…read moreSweet and treats for everyone concerned at this place. Tucked away off a little lane-way opposing the Prahran town hall chapel street. The soft jellies use the natural setting agent of pectin, and are made with Glucose. For some of the hard candies natural products are used too, such as manuka honey and brown or raw sugars. Generally, the products here are made with time, craft, dedication and old fashioned skill. No shortcuts, no artificial gunk, and the soft jellies are dairy free, nut free, and vegan friendly. No animal products. There's lots to sample from, and a great range of colours, flavours, designs, and patterns to be seen. There's a modern take on the boiled sweets which are made at two crafting tables; a solid cold table and another that is kept warm so that molten candy can be malleable and pliable to work with to create some great designs. Intricate and cool designs come out. There's also old fashioned favourites in sweets, but whatever you're after you're sure to satify your sweet tooth. They even have grown up sweets, with a more refined taste.

Walking inside you are instantly transported back to your childhood, and you can't help but get excited when you notice things like Honey bears, Dr Pepper or Jolly Ranchers. There are a lot of imported and classic sweets and drinks that you are unlikely to see anywhere else (think Grape flavoured Coca Cola). There's shakes, chocolate, sherbets, and even and ice cream bar with flavours like 'rainbow'. The staff are always helpful and friendly - and I suspect take a lot of joy seeing so many adults and children get excited by sugar. They are knowledgeable when it comes to naming long lost favourite sweets too. Even if you don't end up buying anything a trip to A Pocket of Lollies proves to be very enjoyable for the inner child and the adult who likes to reminisce.
