The fall chocolate gift guide

Fall is the season of reunions. Family dinners, after-work cocktails, Thanksgiving, hosts who entertain, October and November birthdays lining up back to back, and the early hints of the holiday season already showing on the horizon. In short, you find yourself giving a lot, often, and without always knowing what.

Here's our guide for fall 2026, with the gourmet gifts we make at our Chocolate Workshop and deliver across Canada.

The signature flavour of the season: hazelnut

Every season has its signature. In fall, at our Workshop, it's hazelnut. Roasted, caramelized, married to milk or dark chocolate, it brings that warm, woody roundness that fits the shorter days perfectly. If you don't know what to give, start here.

Our top pick: the Praline Hazelnut Fondant

It's our newest creation, and it's also the gift we've been giving the most lately. The Praline Hazelnut Fondant combines the restaurant-dessert side of the molten-centre fondant, an intense hazelnut praline filling, and crunchy caramelized hazelnut bits on the surface. A perfect gift for someone who takes dessert seriously. It reheats in 20 seconds in the microwave, gets served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and that's it.

The whole hazelnut family

If the Praline Hazelnut Fondant sets the tone, it isn't alone. Our hazelnut line-up runs deep:

• The Crunchy Praline Spread, our artisanal take on the classic chocolate-hazelnut spread, with real crunchy pralinéd hazelnut bits. Great on its own or as part of a small assortment.
• The little Crunchy Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Rocher, Juliette's favourite dessert in bite-size format. Ideal for introducing someone to the brand.
• Our Rocher Praliné cake (Workshop pickup only), if you're looking for a dessert-gift to bring to a fall dinner.

You can also mix and match these into a homemade basket: a jar of the spread, a little Rocher, and a Fondant. The "let me introduce you to Juliette & Chocolat hazelnut" combo in three pieces.

The limited edition not to miss: the Spiced Pumpkin Guilty Bar

There's a gift we can't offer you during any other season: our Spiced Pumpkin Guilty Bar with caramel and marshmallow. It's our fall edition, once a year, available while supplies last.

Thin shell of 33% Belgian milk chocolate, a molten centre of spiced pumpkin cream (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger), Breton salted butter caramel, homemade marshmallow. Pumpkin spice, artisanal version, no compromises. A seasonal gift you can send without hesitation to a fall-coffee enthusiast, someone with a soft spot for warm spices, or simply someone who deserves to be surprised.

For variety: our gift boxes

When you can't pick just one flavour, pick several.

• The build-your-own box of 6 brownies lets you compose a custom assortment with our signature brownies (Intense, Salted Caramel, Ivoire, Pecan, S'mores and more). All gluten-free. Perfect for a gift that pleases everyone.
• The build-your-own box of 6 fondants brings together our molten-centre fondants in one gift: dark chocolate, speculoos, raspberry, and of course the new praline hazelnut.
• Our gift boxes and gourmet baskets offer pre-built assortments, ready to give, at every budget.

A gift that speaks: L'Intensionné

You have something to say to someone? L'Intensionné is a large brownie carrying a message printed directly on it. We created it for the big occasions where a card doesn't quite do it: milestone birthdays, thank-yous, congratulations, chocolate-scented condolences. A format that leaves a trace.

A gift that becomes a moment: the Large Break-and-Share Bar

Some families open their gifts and move on. Others turn the gift into an event. For those, our Large Break-and-Share Bar, delivered with its own small wooden hammer, is perfect. Kids love it. Adults do too.

Four versions in the catalogue: milk chocolate and fleur de sel caramel, dark chocolate and berries, milk chocolate and red fruits, and "party chocolate" (milk chocolate with colourful candies).

For real enthusiasts: Juliette's cookbooks

A gift that lasts: Juliette Brun's recipe books. Mon Année Chocolat gathers dozens of the founder's recipes, from an easy soufflé to a homemade spread. Les Brownies de Juliette is 200 pages entirely devoted to the brownie, including her signature recipe. The ideal gift for a friend who loves to cook, a young adult who just moved out, or a pastry-obsessed teacher. See both in the Recipe Books by Juliette collection.

When you really can't decide: the gift card

Our gift card is virtual, delivered by email, and usable online across Canada and in our restaurants. It solves every situation where choosing is more stressful than rewarding.

For businesses: corporate gifts and custom bars

Fall is also the season when companies start planning their year-end gifts. We produce custom chocolate bars for other brands: your flavour, your packaging, your logo. We offer discounts on bulk orders, and we can ship to multiple addresses.

Write to us at webmaster@julietteetchocolat.com to discuss a corporate project, or check out our corporate offer.

Delivery across Canada and pickup at the Workshop

All our gourmet products (except for the fresh cakes from the Workshop) are available online, with delivery across Canada. Free shipping on orders of $99 and up. Every package is carefully wrapped to arrive in perfect condition, wherever the person you're gifting happens to be.

Are you local? You can also pick up at our Chocolate Workshop in Greenfield Park, or stop by our Jean-Talon and Sauvé restaurants, our DIX30 boutique, or our food truck at Le Fou Fou / Royalmount.

One last thing

A good chocolate gift is more than a gift. It's a sign that someone took the time to choose, that they know a little about the recipient, that they're wishing them a real moment of pleasure. It's also, let's be honest, one of the rare gifts that never ends up in a cupboard. Your turn.
