This Bountiful chocolate shop is a staple to Davis County residents who flock here for caramels, nuts & chews, and toffee.

7. Cumming’s Studio Chocolate
Everything here is decadently delicious, but the chocolate covered fudge from Cumming’s Studio Chocolates are truly TDF. Fudge will never be the same without a thick chocolate and nutty covering. Cumming’s has been a SLC staple since 1919, started by Victor Clyde Cummings. Stop by to try the chocolate covered fudge or some of their chocolate dipped grapes.

6. Garden Gate Toffee
Truly the BEST toffee you will ever have- thick slabs of chocolate with sweet and buttery toffee sandwiched between. Garden Gate hand dips their toffee just 2 months out of the year. Their once ice cream shop turned to toffee and chocolate establishment works solely off of word of mouth and repeat customers, year after year. Stop by Garden Gate on 9th and 9th for a taste of their toffee. You won’t regret it!

3. Mrs. Call’s Candy Co.
One of the best places for decadent treats in all of Utah is Mrs. Call’s Candy Co. Tucked away in charming Heber City, this local favorite makes some of the most delicious chocolate and candies we have ever tasted- all still prepared in copper kettles over an open flame with the same recipes that they have been using since the 1920’s! You really can’t go wrong when it comes to eating Mrs. Call’s Candy, but some of our favorite items include their milk chocolate sea salt caramels, the chocolate covered cookies, and the vanilla cream caramels (pictured above).

1. Hatch Family Chocolates
Also known as home to the Little Chocolatiers from former the hit TLC show, Hatch’s is at the top of our list when it comes to the best chocolates in Salt Lake City. The quality of chocolate that you consume here whether it be with a caramel apple, inside some of their homemade ice cream, or melted in a cup of hot cocoa is truly top notch. Some of Hatch Family go-to’s are their chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate covered raspberries, and aztec salted caramels.

Great list! There are only two I haven’t hit. I will say that Cavanaugh’s Cherry Chocolates are the best ever! For fun at V Chocolates you must get a package of the Chocolate Frogs, the Harry Potter in you will be so happy. Cummings’ Chocolate Pecan Turtles are so right, I don’t want to be wrong! Hatch’s!!!! Went to school with Steve. Every Christmas his family would visit and bring a box of their homemade delights, where the original goodness started! Great post, thanks for sharing!
Brooke
Hi Tara! Thanks for stopping by! I HAVE NOT tried the cherry chocolates OR the chocolate frogs! Looks like I’ll have to make a couple of stops this week! I also agree on Hatch’s- they are incredible and do SUCH a good job. We went there (again) tonight just after I finished this post! Cheers 🙂

Hi Mimi- thanks so much for the recommendation. I LOVE Belgian chocolate and can’t wait to try!

Have you tried Paul’s Candies at the Western Nut Company on 400 S across from Pioneer Park? Not only is their fudge amazing but their brittle is to die for. Their cashew brittle is my favorite. Also their English toffee is delicious!
Brooke Eliason
Thanks for the rec Heather- we have been to Western Nut several times but I don’t think we’ve sampled the cashew brittle!
