Artisanal chocolate bars: ours, explained

A good chocolate bar looks simple: chocolate, a shape, some packaging. But try a square of our Coupable with salted caramel and biscuit, or a piece of our blond chocolate with sucre à la crème and pecans, and you'll understand that no, it's not that simple. Chocolate bars are where our creativity has the widest playground. A short guided tour of our collection.

A broad collection, one thing in common: we don't do things halfway

To date, we've developed more than 70 different bar flavours at our Workshop. Our online collection keeps a rotating selection of about twenty, ranging from classics to bolder creations. You'll find:

• Dark chocolate (55%, 65%, sugar-free, single-origin)
• Milk chocolate (33%, Ghana single-origin)
• White chocolate (plain, or with popping lemon zest, yes it really pops)
• Blond chocolate (caramelized white chocolate, with a biscuit note)
• Praliné, spéculoos, red fruit, salted caramel, crunchy hazelnut bars
• Dome-shaped bars, our famous Coupables, with a molten filling

Three formats, three kinds of pleasure

Our bars come in three main formats, each designed for a specific moment.

Classic bars ($9.95). Rectangular format, in an illustrated cardboard sleeve. The practical format: slip one in a bag, offer one without thinking, snack on one during your commute.

Large Break-and-Share Bars ($29.95). Our family favourite. A large thin bar delivered with a small wooden hammer. You smash the bar with the hammer (kids love it, adults too) and share the pieces. Available in milk chocolate and fleur de sel caramel, dark chocolate and berries, milk chocolate and red fruits, or party chocolate (milk chocolate with colourful candies).

The Coupables ($17.95). Our most decadent line. Dome format, thin crackling shell of Belgian chocolate, molten centre packed with layers that literally turn a single bar into a full dessert. Four flavours available:

• Cookie dough, salted caramel and crunchy biscuit (a collab with Geraldine)
• Strawberry, marshmallow and crunchy biscuit
• Crunchy pistachio and marshmallow
• Pecans and caramel

Break the Coupable, taste it, feel guilty. Do it again.

The Juliette touch: creativity, curiosity, a dash of daring

"Chocolate bars are the product where we can really do anything. With a chocolate base, you can add every decoration, every inclusion, combine any taste with any texture."

That's Juliette Brun, founder and head chocolatière, speaking. And that explains why our collection features things as surprising as a white chocolate bar with popping lemon zest, a Florentine bar with almonds, honey and orange, a triple-chocolate cappuccino bar, or our must-try blond chocolate with sucre à la crème and pecans.

Collaborations with Montreal artists

A great bar is also something you offer with the eyes. That's why some of our bars are wrapped in packaging designed by local artists.

Our sucre à la crème and pecan bar, for example, wears a sleeve illustrated by Montreal artist Whatisadam (WIA): colourful, playful, unmistakably fun. Our Coupables arrive in cylindrical cases printed in bright colours, with the cookie-dough version featuring a collaboration with the Geraldine boutique. These partnerships are part of the experience: opening a Juliette & Chocolat bar starts as a visual moment.

Made by hand at our Chocolate Workshop

All our bars are made by hand, in small batches, at our Chocolate Workshop in Greenfield Park, on Montreal's South Shore. Our chocolate makers work with carefully chosen couverture chocolates (from Belgium, Peru, Africa), which they melt, temper and mould every day.

Tempering is what gives our bars their shine, their snap, and their smooth melt on the tongue. It's also what sets them apart from industrial chocolate: each bar is worked along the right temperature curve so the cocoa butter crystallizes properly.

As a gift, in a box, or just for you

Our bars also come in gift boxes. A box of 3 bars or the Adventurer box of 5 bars: perfect for the chocolate lover who can't pick a single flavour.

Delivery across Canada

All our bars are available online, with delivery across Canada. Free shipping on orders of $99 and up. Careful packaging so everything arrives in perfect condition.

Prefer to pick up in person? Our Chocolate Workshop in Greenfield Park and our Jean-Talon and Sauvé restaurants and DIX30 boutique all carry a fine selection.

To wrap up

A Juliette & Chocolat bar is never just a piece of chocolate. It's a moment, a gift, a small excuse to take care of yourself. Your turn to pick the one that speaks to you: see the full collection.

And because we can't say it enough: chocolate is a natural antidepressant. Don't hold back.
