This place is amazing. Every time I walk along Queen St East I can't help but go inside here.
Usually I end up walking out with some chocolate chip cheesecake fudge. Amaaaazing! It makes a great gift too.
They have a lot of candies and chocolates from your childhood and candies with characters like Harry Potter or Spiderman.
Cute place! -

I love how this store carries lots of British products, from Cadbury chocolates to Cream of Tomato soup from Marks and Spencers. Coming to this store is almost like stepping onto the set of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory with knickknack treats, lunch boxes with the London Tower imprinted on it, tea-sets, and of course, shortbread biscuits from the highlands of Scotland.
My mom loves coming here for their treats that are sugar-free (great for the diabetics) and I love coming here for their ice-cream (in the hot summer that is). The last time I popped into the store, I wanted to look at some gift baskets filled with English treats however they were quite pricey. I saw one for upwards of 100 and that was filled with cookies and jams...nothing special in my mind, but perhaps someone would pay a premium for Made in England?
Anyone walking along this stretch of Queen Street East should pop by this candy/chocolate store. It is a fun place and the kids will LOVE IT/YOU.Listed in: 30 Day Yelp Challenge -…, All About Leslieville -…

Walking around Queen Street on Sunday afternoon, we were tempted by the smell of cocoa.
Nutty Chocolatier is a kids' fantasy - aisles of truffles and fudge counters on the right and traditional gummies, hard candy, and seasonal treats on the left. The selection is amazing.
The lady at the counter offered us a sample of their bark and it was delicious! We decided on a chocolate-bar sized piece of milk chocolate bark and a 1/4 inch piece of peanut butter fudge. It cost $9 so prices are quite high.
Be forewarned, you'll definitely be tempted and could spend hours in there! -

This place is everything the Tutti Frutti at Yonge and Carlton is not.
Want an all round good candy store? Got it!
Want a British specialty candy and chocolate selection? Check!
Want a good choice of real black licorice? Right here!
Want fudge, ice cream and fresh popcorn? Step right up!
Want a store with helpful staff and a nice vibe?
This here is your place. Enjoy! -

Nutty Chocolatier is an A-OK chocolate shoppe.
When I walked in I can smell the nice aroma of fudges and chocolate in the air........
They carries a lot of the packaged chocolate f different brands, candies and sweets... and for your diabetes' friends may I said the perfect gift of sugarless chocolate. BTW, sugarless does not mean that they don't have calories
The deco of Nutty Chocolatier are more traditional/down to earth.. remind me of a Carnival inside of a circus tent.. maybe a clown might pop out and play a joke on me! :P
I think kids or the young at heart does enjoy the atmosphere of Nutty Chocolatier over the more sophisticated atmosphere of some European chocolate store..
Wish they serves hot chocolate for the cold winter evening I was there..Listed in: Chocolate Shoppes in GTA!, For The Young At Heart!

****THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL PARENTS****
Do not walk by the Nutty Chocolatier without expecting your kids to go bananas over the fudge in the window!
This place is lined with fresh made fudge, toffee, old school British chocolate bars and every other cocoa you can imagine under one roof.
Great selection, and they aren't scared to provide samples to the customers which is amazing!
They have an abundance of all other candies and goodies galore! It's like being in an episode of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory! -

You know that phrase "I feel like a kid in a candy store"? I believe it originated at the Nutty Chocolatier.
Their molded chocolates come in all shapes and sizes for all occasions and fetishes. From chocolate handcuffs to chocolate golf clubs and chocolate First Aid kits, this place has it all - though admittedly, I think to myself who buys those?
There are two things (maybe three - we'll see how my rambling goes) that bring me back to The Nutty Chocolatier:
1. British chocolate brands and British crisps
Now with 0% wax unlike some of the U.S. brands. If you taste a U.K. Cadbury vs. a U.S. one, you will taste a HUGE difference. Also, if you're a fan of the REAL Turkish Delight (I'm not one but there are some), they have those complete with powdered sugar and all. As for the crisps (hey, lookee here! I'm using their word!) love the flavours they imported: Steak and Onion, Lamb and Mint and my oddly enough favourite, Roast Chicken w/ Lemon and Thyme.
2. Homemade fudge and ice cream

I love chocolate. I especially love chocolate fudge. Mind blowing, eye popping triple chocolate fudge. And you can find it in this store. Not to mention the other interesting flavours of fudge. And the wonderful selection of delicious chocolates. They make great gifts, ask my friends and family. But you also cannot leave without buying something for yourself. Yum! A little pricey but certainly worth it. Not that close to home but merits a special trip every now and then. Go for it!

The only thing I have against this place is that it moved out of my neighbourhood. It used to be just around the corner on Queen Street West so it's be simple enough to dash around the corner for a quick fix of chocolaty goodness. Now I've got to hop on a Queen car and head east for quite a ways. Well, it now gives me an excuse to venture east of Parliament.
The Nutty Chocolatier is a locally run Belgian chocolate-makers that specialize in truffles and smaller chocolates as well as larger fare if need be. For those not into chocolate (and really what is your problem?) there's lots of other items on offer that can satisfy the need for sugar. As well, check out their shelves of other confectionary items including a nook at the back with British fare like salt-water taffy, Flake, and Walker's Crisps. There's also tins of beans if you want, but you'll find the amount of chocolate within to be minimal at best. You're best to approach the counter, point to the truffles you want, and then try to see how far back you get to your house before you crack it open and eat one. My record is River Street.Listed in: Born to Shop

Queen East is contributing to a newly formed addiction to chocolate. I swear, first Dufflet and now the Nutty Chocolatier! I never used to even like chocolate! Ugh!
The smell from this store is absolutely delish, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Never judge a book by its cover, this is more than just a chocolate store. They sell candy, ice cream, premium and exotic chocolates, even love token chocolate (chocolate body paint anyone?).
So many cute things in this store, where do I begin? First off, anyone other than my family obsessed with Pawn Cocktail chips? ONLY found at Mark and Spencers!! Well look no further because they have pawn cocktail chips here! 5 small bags for $5. Pricey, but hard to find!
They sell homemade licorice.. Not just the strawberry and nasty black ones, but cool flavours, like root beer! A pack of different flavours sell for $4.99. Body paint mentioned above, a little kinky, but hey you know if they sell it at a chocolate store the quality must be some what good.
This store is just the epitome of awesome! It really is... -

it feels like this place has been transplanted from some place in orillia to queen street east. it feel very rural or general store like. the walls are wood with red trim (or that could just be what i remember).
at the front, while you are melting into this illusion chocolate theme park, you can munch on a bag of popcorn. to be honest i didnt go and check whether it was free or not, but it seemed like it would be. they had one of those old style ones that you see at the movie theatres but smaller.
displayed on a table nearby were two large chocolate gift baskets looking pretty lonely like rejected orphans. im sure these were the last of the bunch prepared just before christmas.
smartly, they have a part of a wall devoted to greeting cards to accompany your present. indeed many of the chocolate treats youd buy here would be as presents. i photographed chocolates in the shape of drill sets and tools for tradespeople lets say, handcuffs and baton for cops or dominatrixes, medical equipment for health practitioners.
walking further along, on a top shelf shielded by a suggestive black gossamer curtain, is the chocolate porn section. here you can choose from an array of chocolate cocks. or to be more specific cockscicles, so i suppose you can give them to someone and say something like "want a sucker?" as i said, great gift ideas. (except where are the vjayjays? cmon you could get a whole bunch of smaller chocolates and put them inside - no bag needed, very environmentally friendly!)
alright enough of that. (obviously i need to go and review another sex store).
anyhow, to finish off the family, they have an assortment of chips and candies like other local candy devoted stores.
what i like most about this store is its accessibility. other stores that sell similar products seem to be more about their elitist recipes specialties (read: soma chocolate makers) and less about the real fun pleasure of life and eating those completely unneeded yet fully decadent treats.
its not just called nutty for its nuts.
