You could play it normal and buy a chocolate bunny, or you can go for a chocolate lobster or frog from this charming chocolatier on Fleury. Bonneau also does tasty pastries — delivery is free in Ahuntsic.

One of Montreal’s newest bean-to-bar chocolatiers, Avanaa is crafting bars from various origins, including a few flavoured bars that are worth trying, like coconut and coffee flavours. The store is currently closed, but delivery is free on the island of Montreal from Avanaa’s online store.

Montreal’s bean-to-bar chocolate scene (chocolate made from scratch with raw cacao beans) has exploded within recent years, and État de Choc is a fine reflection of this. Its Little Italy store is closed to the public, but online orders are still available (although possibly not for long due to heavy volumes).

Les Chocolats de Chloé does everything from homemade chocolate bars to truffles with unique flavours like tonka bean and peppercorn. Its store on Duluth is closed, but free delivery is available while stocks last.

This Centre-Sud bean-to-bar maker is sticking to chocolate bars right now — and if you’re OK with it not being in an egg shape, it’s some damn fine dark chocolate. At the time of writing, there’s free delivery for orders over $50 with the code “HOPE” in Qantu’s online store.

Aesthetically speaking, Lecavalier Petrone probably offers the prettiest chocolates in town, with creations daubed and speckled in all manner of colours. But they’re more than just a pretty thing to look at: Flavours are intriguing and on point, with combinations like sea buckthorn and caramelized white chocolate, or blackberry with Tasmanian pepper. Order online for delivery, or pick them up in Pointe-St-Charles.

This Verdun chocolatier has quite the array of splendidly-crafted and very detailed chocolate animals, in both milk and dark varieties.
