Northern Ireland has a handful of chocolate makers and chocolate shops in County Antrim, County Armagh, County Down, and County Derry. It boasts a bean-to-bar maker alongside several chocolate high street chain brands, and a sprinkling of smaller independent makers and chocolatiers.
Belfast is where you'll tend to find the big chains, but further afield you'll find some of the smaller guys and gals.

I've excluded supermarkets and franchise stores from this list. I urge you to support your local chocolate makers as many of them are crafting superb quality chocolate treats and gifts. I've listed bean to bar chocolate makers seperately. If you are a real chocolate fan, try a chocolate bar from your local craft chocolate maker and you'll be blown away by how different it tastes compared to mass-produced chocolate. I've also listed national chocolate chains seperately, and have defined a chain as a business that has at least two stores.
Disclaimer: Distances in this calculator are approximate and are listed as the crow flies (you know, the fastest way to get to chocolate). Online shops are normally open to place orders 24/7, subject to availability. For physical shops, check store opening hours before travelling to avoid disappointment.
