Along with sunscreen, sunshine and being outdoors on the beach this summer comes the necessity for satisfying your sweet tooth. With an Island full dessert possibilities, venture out for some of Hilton Head’s best indulgences.
Finding Fudge
Wondrous confections can be found in the heart of Coligny Plaza at the Island Fudge Shoppe. In this popular shop, guests will find delicious South Carolina-certified products. Known for their namesake fudge—made on location—the confectionary offers up to 20 different flavors, including the popular chocolate and peanut butter. If you’re not up for fudge, take a look at their delicious pralines, in assorted flavors, their fun themed chocolate alligator or, for adventurous eaters, chocolate-covered bacon.
Hilton Head’s Finest Confections Since 1982
The Chocolate Canopy has been Hilton Head’s local chocolate company since 1982. Their quality chocolates and confections are created by hand using the finest ingredients. This attention to detail yields the most amazing chocolate you’ve ever tasted. The Chocolate Canopy is located at 55 New Orleans Rd., #10.

With about 40 different flavors of ice cream and an assortment of toppings to add on, how could the choices be any tougher?

Craving Confections and Cocktails

Bernie suggests the crème brûlée, while guests prefer to taste them all!
