Chocolate Canopy is a small handmade chocolate shop at 55 New Orleans Road, Suite 101, in a building with a green awning over the door. It calls itself Hilton Head’s finest gourmet chocolate company, and the chocolates and confections are made by hand daily. Walk in and the smell of chocolate is the first thing people mention.

What to Buy at Chocolate Canopy

The glass cases hold milk chocolate on one side and dark on the other: caramels, truffles, bonbons, chocolate-covered pretzels, fudge, cordials and toffee bark, which reviewers single out as their favorite. Shelves carry prepackaged sets and gift boxes, and there are also molds, gummies and taffy. Pieces are sold by the pound at one price across the case rather than a different price per piece, so you can mix a box freely. Chocolate-covered fruit trays are made for events. The shop also ships, so a favorite can follow you home.

Hours and Visiting

The shop is open Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and is closed on weekends, which matters if your trip is a weekend one. The room is small, and a reviewer noted that only a couple of customers fit at a time, so expect a short line in season. There are no tables or reservations; this is a stop to pick up a box. Call (843) 842-4567 for gift orders.
