Cleveland, OHChocolatiers and Candy Shops

Malley's has made chocolate for Cleveland since 1935, and its shops, in a whimsical, pink and green look, carry the fan favorites: buckeyes, nutmallows and truffles. The CLE Bar is classic, creamy milk chocolate in a picturesque wrapper that honors the city's traditions. This entry is the Lakewood shop, one of several around Northeast Ohio. Order a box of nutmallows and buckeyes, and a CLE Bar.

Mitchell's has been a Cleveland Heights staple since it opened in 1939, a chocolate shop on Lee Road. The Pecanurtle is the order: a cluster of roasted and salted pecans covered in caramel and chocolate.

This Cleveland confectionery makes sure nobody goes without a chocolate fix, with sweets for every dietary need: dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and kosher chocolates and candies. Order a box of the dairy-free chocolates.

This Westlake chocolatier supports Alzheimer's research, and its case holds chocolates, cake pops and, in the fall, caramel apples. For a celebration, the chocolate piñata is a chocolate shell filled to the brim with surprises. Order a caramel apple in season and a box of chocolates.

This Cleveland-owned candy store on Brookpark Road also runs a 36-hole mini golf course and a soda shoppe serving sundaes, milkshakes and smoothies. The soda shoppe's ice cream takes locally inspired names like the Strawberry Shoreway, Public Square and Turtle Tower. Come for the candy, and finish with a Turtle Tower.
