Picture these arriving at dessert time after a memorable dinner, or imagine setting them on the table at your next dinner party and watching everyone’s eyes light up.

LaRouère's Garnish Bars are playful riffs on a small bar of our single origin chocolate—each one playfully finished with thoughtfully chosen ingredients that add contrast, texture, and a sense of play.

We get asked about cacao powder all the time. Now, we're finally putting it on the shelf.

Our new Honduras 🇭🇳 Single-Origin Cacao Powder comes from the same fine-flavour cacao we use for our Honduras chocolate. At origin, the beans are carefully fermented, roasted, ground into cacao liquor, and pressed to separate the cacao butter from the cacao solids.

The result is a natural, non-alkalized cacao powder with remarkable aroma and character—100% traceable from origin to bag.

Expressive and deeply aromatic, it tastes unmistakably of cacao rather than simply "chocolate," and is equally at home in brownies, cakes, hot chocolate, ice cream, anywhere cacao belongs.

Available now in 300 g bags.
A little taste of Honduras, straight from the source.
Special thanks to .ca for making this possible.

Closer Look: Iced Caramel
No chocolate. No coffee. No espresso shots hiding in the background.
Just milk and caramel.
Our Iced Caramel starts with our house-made caramel sauce, made from scratch in small batches. We blend it into cold milk, pour it over ice, and leave well enough alone.
The result is smooth, creamy, and surprisingly refreshing.
Just milk and caramel.
Turns out that's all you need.

☀️ A Seasonal Reminder
Chocolate is remarkably agreeable.
It will cross oceans, survive customs, and travel hundreds of kilometres happily.
Our chocolate leaves the shop in pristine condition—hand-wrapped and quality-checked so it reaches you exactly as intended: glossy, structured, and ready to enjoy.
If you're running errands after stopping by LaRouère, simply bring your chocolate in with you. In your purse, backpack, or tote bag.
Help your chocolate survive until it arrives.

A Closer Look: Agua Panela 🌟
Agua Panela is one of Colombia's most beloved drinks: panela (unrefined cane sugar) dissolved in water and served hot or cold, depending on the season and the region. The result is surprisingly complex—light caramel notes, a hint of molasses, and an almost effortless refreshment. ❄ 🥶 💦
It has endured not because it's trendy, but because it works.
Our version is served ice cold with lemon and lime. 🍋‍🟩🍋
Simple. Bright. Deeply refreshing. 🌞🌞
A little taste of Colombia. 🇨🇴

CHOCOLATE DOESN'T SHIP WELL IN SUMMER.
To avoid shipping melted regrets, we've paused chocolate shipping during the warmest months.
We'll be back at it when the weather cools down.

This is Robin from LaRouère. And this is Rick Larouere.
Yes, that's right. Rick Larouere.
Last week, we had a very special visit from Rick and his wife, Mary McClurkin, who made the trip from Ohio to see us.

How did they discover our little chocolate shop in New Brunswick?
Their grandson came across LaRouère Chocolat online. After all, it's not every day you stumble upon a business that shares your unique family name.

So, Rick and Mary decided to make the trip to Moncton and introduce themselves. Robin and I spent a wonderful evening sharing stories and enjoying the delightful coincidence that brought us together.

A chocolate shop named LaRouère meeting a Larouere family from Ohio wasn't something we ever expected, but we're certainly glad it happened.

Thank you, Rick and Mary, for making the journey. It was a genuine pleasure meeting you both.

Proof that chocolate brings people together—and sometimes so does a surname. 🍫❤️

Rhabarberschorle. What the....?
If you've spent time in Germany, you've probably had the pleasure. Rhabarberschorle is everywhere. A Rhabarberschorle is basically rhubarb spritzer— tart, mildly, sweet, massively refreshing.
Easy to drink. Slightly harder to pronounce.
