If you are a chocoholic, you HAVE to go to Just Bliss. From the truffles, to the chocolate tiles,…read morethere is something for everyone, even the health conscious. 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.

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!

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

Honestly, if it wasn't for that I probably would have walked past it. Well, that would have been a mistake because that would have meant missing this little gem of a store. Okay, it is probably more for those with a sweet tooth, but honestly, the variety of fudge that they sell here is amazing. Oh, and not only that but they also have icecream, and other lollies as well. Yeah, this place was actually pretty cool.

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.

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.

Whether you're buying a gift box of various chocolates, or a large block to enjoy for yourself, there's something for everyone at Haigh's! I never knew this Haigh's store was here for years. Then again Adelaide Arcade always eluded me for some unknown reason.

While I now believe it would be choco-overload, even for a chocoholic like me, the smell of melting chocolate still takes me to my happy place. No better place in Radelaide for a chocolate factory experience than Haigh's on Greenhill Rd. Even if you haven't pre-planned (like me!) and aren't booked into their free factory tour, the source of all Haigh's premium chocolate visitor's centre is well worth a visit, after all, at 150 square metres it is probably Australia's largest chocolate shop. Before you even reach the front doors the aroma of melted chocolate will draw you in, and if you are lucky the vintage Haigh's truck will be parked out the front. Once inside there is a dazzling array of boxed and loose chocolates, information signage, the factory and helpful staff. Haigh's have been supporting conservation of the Australian native bilby by donating the a portion of the proceeds of sale to Foundation for Rabbit Free Australia. Haigh's also support the pandas through donating proceeds of sales to the Adelaide Zoo, and the Murray Cod, donating a portion of the proceeds of sale to Waterfind Environment Fund that works on improving the health of the Murray river systems. Proudly displayed is their commitment to environmental management, which includes packaging recyclability, energy and water efficiency. Ethical sourcing is also taken seriously, through membership of the Australian Industry Group and World Cocoa Foundation that improves the lives of West Africa cocoa farmers. Due to a loophole (in my mind a gaping, mistaken hole) Haigh's are ineligible for Fair Trade certification - because they use some Australian ingredients. In my mind, using local ingredients is a great thing! Haigh's have a fine array of chocolates made from native Australian ingredients such as the Dark Lemon Myrtle Cream, Dark Quondong, and Milk Wild Lime Jelly. They are available as loose chocolates & in an Australian Selection box with all the above varieties for $36.95. The Dark Strawberry & Pepperberry Ganache is sweet with a hint of green heat from the Tasmanian native pepperberry and is an Australian great chocolate. It is always worth seeking out the Seconds & Experimental area (on my visit to the right of the loose chocolate counter) where you may find a one-off bargain like the fruity white chocolate slab I saw. Upon checking out, the staff will offer to gift wrap your purchase - they even include gift tags - and also a delicious sample, on our visit of the sublimely balanced brandy Christmas pudding.

Haigh's Chocolate Factory Tour…read more Polite, attentive, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their chocolates, the people working here are fabulous!! In addition, they keep stuffing you with chocolate! The chocolate itself is simply delish. I'm a huge fan of dark chocolate and it's one of the best I've tasted in my life. The tour was a good insight behind-the-scenes although no pictures were allowed in the private viewing areas. You can ask as many questions as you like, and probably sample as much chocolate as you want too! Staff were brilliant. The employees here, together with the chocolate, a sheer star combination.

Much like developing a taste for fine wines and an appreciation for The Weekend Australian over The Sunday Mail, as one gets older they prefer the finer things in life. This should extend to chocolate as well. Haighs are a South Australian institution that should not be ignored (unless you have a medical condition preventing you from doing so, or like my boss you freakishly have an aversion to chocolate). The quality of their product has been refined over many years, with no sugary-grit or soapy after-taste that comes of many mainstream brands. The price may put some people off, but it's the quality your paying for here as well as the traditional hands-on approach in producing some of the world's finest chocolate. A quick tip however to those who plan a trip to Haighs around the Easter & Christmas periods, be prepared to queue. Even if you arrive before opening. Such is the demand for this nectar of the confectionary gods. And if you have to wait, then you know it must be good.

But if you want quality produce for your guests where they can taste the difference, this is a great place to shop.

The sausages were yummy and I will be back to try their chicken, cinnamon and apple sausages or traditional gourmet chicken variety. High end prices but excellent quality product.
