Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop, San Francisco

Not your average candy store, Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop is a San Francisco institution that sells premium chocolates and builds an irresistible ice cream sundae. Indulge in rich candy bars in milk, dark, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate. Baskets filled with fudge sauces, cocoa mixes, English toffee, and pecan caramel clusters make great souvenirs for chocolate lovers. Be sure to try the signature Twin Peaks Sundae: a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of vanilla slathered with some of the finest fudge sauce anywhere, all topped off with a dense halo of real whipped cream "fog".
