The Violet Chocolate Co

1
17515 10 Ave SW, Edmonton, AB T6W 1Z8

Everything here is gluten-free and made with local ingredients whenever possible. Chocolatier Rebecca Grant is a Red Seal chef who loves chocolate almost as much as I do, so she made it her career in 2012, opening Violet Chocolate Co. Her mad skills won her gold at the Canadian National Chocolate Awards in 2013. Quirky flavours range from raspberry pepper lime and honey rosemary to salt and vinegar chip. She even throws out seasonal flavours, such as pumpkin chai. Hot damn!

Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut

10103 124th St NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 1P5

This cocoa-obsessed company originated in Calgary but opened up a shop in downtown Edmonton so that all Albertans can have easy access to their delish chocolate. They sell everything from chocolate-covered pretzels to truffles, but they also have chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, chocolate drops and baking bars so you can use Bernard Callebaut chocolate in your own home-made concoctions. You can also pick up seasonal delights, such as chocolate eggs, hearts or Yule logs.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

1343-8882 170 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 4M2

Milk, white or dark chocolate. Truffles, clusters, creams, barks or liqueurs — no matter what kind of chocolate you crave, you can find it at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. The boxes of chocolate caramels and bags of chocolate-covered nuts or fruits make excellent gifts. They also sell a ton of chocolates with no added sugar that are good for diabetics or people following a low-carb diet. For a real treat, go for the chocolate-covered frozen bananas or chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick.

Jacek Chocolate Couture

406 Kaska Rd, Sherwood Park, AB T8A 4G8

This gourmet chocolate brand opened its first Edmonton store in 2014. Prior to that, their line of fancy chocolates sold from their store in Sherwood Park, plus at farmers’ markets and various stores around Edmonton, such as Credo. Their chocolates are gorgeous, exquisite creations that are almost too pretty to eat. If you can’t stand to destroy their beautiful truffles, try the sipping chocolate or their delicate chocolate bars, named after fashion icons.
