Ginger Clove and the Christmas Bike Ride are two very special pieces from our Holiday Collection The artwork for both was designed by local Edmonton artist Shauna Force from @fenwickandco. Most of you have already heard how we were big fans of @salgadofenwick and the collaborations all started when they opened @yegbuffalocafe. While some things have changed over this year, the cafe closed and new ventures began, we are so grateful to still collaborate on these Limited Ed...ition bars If you loved your Day 10 chocolate you can enjoy it in this adorable full size chocolate bar solo or as part of the Beary Merry Print . . . #yegart #yeglocal #yeg #violetchocyeg #edmonton #edmontonliving #albertamaker #shoplocalyegchristmas #yegfood

A little pause from posts about chocolate to show our faces and say a huge THANK YOU! For all of your support in shares, likes, purchases, shopping with our stockists, and being kind as we adapt to new ways of doing things. The Violet Chocolate Co. is the two of us. Every bar is handcrafted by our owner Rebecca (on the right) and wrapped by Maryanne. There are a million other things that happen to get it to you and keep things going behind the scenes. Between the two of us we... somehow manage to get it done! This year and this holiday season has had a fair share of new and unpredictable to it so thank you for being kind and patient Restocks are coming! We just need a minute to get some orders out the door . . . #violetchocyeg #edmonton #smallbusinessowner #yegsmallbusiness #edmontonliving #supportlocalyeg #yeglocal #edmontoneats #yegfoodie

Lest we Forget Rebecca’s family has a long history of service for our military. Her Dad, uncles and cousins, Grandad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa (Daddy Jack) all served. To see and live with the impact of the service is an experience shared by many Canadians. Today we take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices and efforts of those who are serving and have served. Thank you . .... . #remembranceday #lestweforget #edmonton #yeg #yeglocal #violetchocyeg See more

Bright, bold, and filled with chocolate ! The 2020 Advent Calendar commemorates the memorable moments and hobbies that this wild year has brought into our homes while looking to embrace the silver linings. As we find new ways to celebrate the holidays we hope that the 2020 Advent Calendar will keep you inspired with delicious chocolate and a daily note from us ... We’re opening pre-orders online November 2, which means if you’re signed up for our enews you still have a few days of early access left . . . #violetchocyeg #edmonton #newflavours #countdowntochristmas #yegeats #edmontonliving #shoplocalyeg Design by @liannecharlene

We need to talk about Peppermint & Biscuits. It may look brand new (that snowy label ) but it pulls inspiration from a few favourites. Let’s just say that chocolate cookie pieces mixed through a minty infused dark milk chocolate may result in your chocolate disappearing a little faster than expected. Enjoy chocolate fans! It’s only here for a little while . .... . #yeg #violetchocyeg #yegfood #edmonton #edmontonliving #yegdesign #giftlocal #edmontonbusiness #shoplocalyeg #wintercollection See more

Watching Rebecca work is a lot like having a front row seat to magic! From the way she’s able to dance the chocolate across the table while tempering a batch to how effortlessly she blends ingredients to create flavours that you never knew you needed to try. On top of working on new flavours (which we tried today ) she crafted these gorgeous flowers for a very special occasion. Like I said, it’s pretty magical!... . . . #violetchocyeg #edmonton #yeg #meetthemaker #yegbusiness #yegbusinessowner #handcrafted #yegeats #edmontonliving See more

Remember those amusement park fortune tellers? Like the one that turned Tom Hanks to an adult in Big? Same!
