Champaign-Urbana's Favorite Chocolate Desserts

Whether you are a fan of dark or milk chocolate, candy or pie, chocolate lovers agree that there is no such thing as too much chocolate

When it comes to desserts, we take things pretty seriously around here. Cookies, ice cream and so much more… we have you covered.

We have done our best to think of all of the gooey, chocolatey goodness that we could when it comes to all things chocolate. As with all of our “favorite food” lists, we focus on locally owned restaurants around Champaign-Urbana and beyond. (This list is in alphabetical order.)

Art Mart, Champaign: We know someone obsessed with the oatmeal fudgie bar. A runner up would be the cookie dough brownie. The brownie is covered in edible cookie dough and is amazing. (Pictured below, oatmeal fudgie bar.)

Biaggi’s, Champaign: Their chocolate cake is cake consistency with yummy fudgy frosting. Comes with a side of gelato, too!

Black & White Confections, Gibson City: They feature hand-dipped chocolate confections made in small batches. We particularly think that their chocolate covered caramel apples look intriguing. Now available at Whisk in Mahomet.

The Bread Company, Urbana: The chocolate fondue at The Bread Company is incredible. A one-of-a-kind dessert in Champaign-Urbana.

Caffe Paradiso, Urbana: Go for the tiramisu at Caffe Paradiso. You’ll love it!

CBPB Popcorn Shop, Champaign: Find gigantic turtles here. We also love the white chocolate covered popcorn.

Champaign Public Library, Champaign: They have a delicious double chocolate chip muffin at the Champaign Public Library‘s cafe. Perfectly moist. Yes, at the library!

Cheese & Crackers, Champaign: The truffle case at Cheese & Crackers is probably the most impressive truffle case we can think of. Just look at that picture (below).

Chikondi Craft Chocolate, Savoy: “From bean to bar,” a fairly new craft chocolate company that participates in local pop up markets and online sales. They are available at CU Flower House in Champaign.

Flesor’s Candy Kitchen, Tuscola: It’s a drive to Tuscola, but Flesor’s Candy Kitchen definitely deserves a mention. Featuring barks, brittles, caramels, and more, they offer many hand dipped chocolates for candy connoisseurs.

Hopscotch Bakery + Market, Champaign: Try their salted caramel brownies or salted caramel cupcakes. Those are the stand-outs here.

Insomnia Cookies, Champaign: Technically not a local business, we are going to include the double chocolate chip cookie sandwich with either ice cream or frosting stuffed inside.

Jarling’s Custard Cup, Champaign: You can get anything with cold fudge here and you won’t be disappointed.

Ko Fusion, Champaign: Ko Fusion’s chocolate cake is layered chocolate mousse, flourless chocolate cake, and fudge. We highly recommend it.

Mahomet Chocolate Company, Mahomet: A newer storefront to the chocolate scene, you can pick from handcrafted chocolates as you fill a box of your choice. Great for gifts!

Old Orchard, Savoy: We know what you’re thinking: First the library, now the bowling center? Yep. Its chocolate lava cake is outstanding.

RegCakes, Savoy: This exclusively gluten-free bakery has some of the best fudgy chocolate brownies.

Rick’s Bakery, Urbana: Everyone needs to try the chocolate ganache cake from Rick’s Bakery. We are also huge fans of the chocolate brioche paired with a hot cup of coffee.

Seven Saints, Champaign: One of the more uniquely-named desserts you’ll ever hear of is the Seven Saints Ding Dong Tribute Cake. It might be difficult to order with a straight face, but it is so worth it. Absolutely delicious. Think back to those days of Hostess delights in your lunch box.

Silvercreek, Urbana: Their Chocolate Solution cake has traditional dark chocolate cake, rich chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, whipped cream, and chocolate curls. It is out of this world.

Sugga Shaii’s Sweets, Urbana: We first met Shaii Smith at one of our local farmers markets. She makes her own confections (turtles and chocolate covered oreos, to name a few). But what has us hooked is the Sugga Cake Jars: double chocolate fudge all the way!

Sun Singer Restaurant, Champaign: The chocolate mousse at Sun Singer demands to be eaten slowly so you can savor every single bit of chocolate.

Suzu’s Bakery, Champaign: Go get the chocolate caramel tart at Suzu’s Bakery. Really, any dessert in their case is going to be a great choice.
