Where to Buy the Best Chocolate in Singapore, From Bonbons to Bean-to-Bar Bars

OurChoice brings together a carefully chosen selection of chocolates for those who want something more interesting than the usual box of sweets. The collection features brands such as Antica Torroneria Piemontese, Cartwright & Butler, Domori, Maglio, Prestat and Tunnock’s, with everything from rare Criollo chocolate bars to Italian truffles, pralines, chocolate-coated nuts and elegant gift boxes.

We love how the range works for different kinds of chocolate lovers. Domori is a must for those who enjoy single-origin and Criollo chocolates, with bars such as Criollo milk chocolate, Canoabo 70% dark chocolate, white chocolate with Sicilian pistachios, and gianduja with Piedmont hazelnuts. Antica Torroneria Piemontese brings Italian-style indulgence through its Tartufi Dolci, including gianduja, pistachio, amaretto, caramel and salted hazelnut flavours.

Prestat adds a more playful British note to the selection, best known for colourful chocolate gifts, truffles and treats that feel bright without being too casual. 

For gifting, there are praline boxes, chocolate thins, cocoa-dusted nuts and chocolate-coated almonds or coffee beans, along with more casual treats from Tunnock’s. The wide selection of treats also makes OurChoice a useful stop for birthdays, dinner parties, festive hampers, thank-you gifts or simply stocking the pantry with better chocolate.

You can find Gourmet Grocery’s range of artisanal chocolates alongside a wide variety of biscuits, hampers and other groceries listed on their website.

Premium Swiss chocolatier Läderach is known for having invented and patented its own technique of chocolate truffle-making: the brand’s thin-walled, hollow truffles break apart effortlessly to reveal the ganache inside. These signature creations, along with Läderach’s signature FrischShoggi (fresh chocolate bars), are available in Läderach boutiques across Singapore.

The FrischShoggi are the most visually striking part of the store: flavours ranging from traditional to experimental (macadamia, raspberry, salted caramel) inlaid with nuts and dried fruit form a massive display. First presented as slabs of chocolate, they are broken up and sold by weight, in assorted tasting packages, or in tins.

Läderach also carries tasting tablets, Italian-style tartufi, chocolate gifts and seasonal creations throughout the year. Its boutiques are especially useful when you want a ready-to-gift box, a tasting selection, or something more playful from the Swiss chocolatier’s limited-edition range.

Läderach has multiple locations: for location information and to shop, visit the website.
