Chocolate and Sweets

Most boxed chocolates at KHH International skew to gift-ready duty-free

Chocolate and Sweets sits airside in the International Terminal I, folded into the standard duty-free and souvenir strip rather than as a standalone boutique. Stock leans hard into boxed items sized for quick hops to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, so you see more gift packs than single bars. Expect mostly regional and Taiwanese brands with some basic imported names, not the deep global lineups you find at Taipei Taoyuan or downtown malls.

Pricing around Chocolate and Sweets tracks with airport norms: higher than Kaohsiung city supermarkets by roughly 15–30%, according to regulars who compare receipts. Think NTD 250–600 for typical chocolate or cookie gift boxes, with larger mixed assortments running higher. If you just need a small present before an EVA Air or China Airlines evening departure, one mid-range box usually does the job without wrecking the travel budget.

Selection skews practical rather than luxurious. You’ll spot staple Taiwanese sweets, pineapple cake derivatives, nut brittles, and chocolate-coated cookies that pack and travel well on 2–4 hour regional flights. Iceable or melt-prone items are limited, and you won’t find the same imported variety seen in Tokyo or Hong Kong duty-free. Regular flyers through KHH often buy their main snack haul in town, then use this shop only for last-minute, duty-free-stickered boxes when they have leftover NTD coins and small bills.

Watch out for impulse overspend: several reviewers note paying more here than at 7‑Eleven or PX Mart for similar brands, and stock can feel thin on late-night departures after 21:00. If you care about value, buy your primary sweets in Kaohsiung city, then treat Chocolate and Sweets as a backup: walk the aisle once, pick one clearly priced gift box, and stop there.
