Meet your guide in central Edinburgh and set off on your walking tour to discover Edinburgh’s chocolate-coated delights. The city is full of dessert boutiques and fine chocolatiers, so take the hassle out of finding the best ones and follow your guide to seven of these in-the-know places.

Head inside Patisserie Valerie, a cozy branch of a small UK chain that serves up dainty patisseries, chocolates and cakes, and sample one of their popular macarons — soft and moist with a crispy shell. Visit Hotel Chocolat to swoon over their luxurious chocolate selections and nibble on a sample, perhaps of one of the unusual flavors.

The decadent dark-chocolate ice cream of Henleys is not to be missed, so wander inside this traditional British candy shop for a sample while ogling the rows of bonbons, liquorice, fudge, chocolate and more. From Henleys, continue to Bibi’s Bakery to sample their award-winning chocolate brownies and cupcakes, and then drool over the chocolate concession at Harvey Nichols, the luxury British department store.

No trip to the Scottish capital is complete without fudge, and Edinburgh’s Fudge Kitchen is said to serve up the country’s finest fudge; indulgent, rich and buttery — just as a good fudge should be! Finally, finish with a visit to Lickety Splits, a place your guide will acknowledge as one of the coolest candy shops in the world.

After 2.5 hours exploring the eateries of Edinburgh, your tour finishes inside Lickety Splits; it’s the perfect place to buy some souvenirs to take home.
