On the south-western corner of the Mall is Darrell Lea Chocolates crammed full with lollies, chocolates and licorice.

Across the street at Beehive Corner is Haigh’s Chocolates, Australia’s oldest —and many would say the country’s best— chocolate makers. Haigh’s also have a shop at the Grenfell Street end of Adelaide Arcade.

Quality imported chocolate is also available from Chocolate World at Shop 28 in Adelaide Arcade.

In nearby James Place is Blackeby’s Sweets, a quaint shop specialising in English and Australian sweets, while on the Terrace Level of The Myer Centre you’ll find The Sweet House with lollies, chocolates and sugar-free confectionery. Swiss Glory at Shop 39, City Cross hand-make their own irresistible chocolates and fresh cream truffles.

If you’re nuts about nuts head for Charlesworth Nuts at Shop 40 City Cross and Terrace Level, The Myer Centre or Ditters Nuts at 26 Gawler Place. Both shops offer an extensive range of nuts and dried fruit as well as delicious gifts.
