Celebrating Great Canadian Chocolate
Peace by Chocolate is a terrific representative of great Canadian chocolate and is produced in Antigonish, Nova Scotia
Canada is a wonderful melting pot that encourages newcomers to embrace and share the traditions of their homeland.
Tareq Hadhad and his family have embraced their new home in Antigonish, a small town located approximately 160 kilometres (100 miles) northeast of Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. They now also have a shop right on the waterfront in Halifax. Be sure to check it out. And while you’re there, drop into Rousseau Chocolatier, a terrific award-winning artisan chocolatier offering more #greatcanadianchocolate.
The Boutique gift shop at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights sells chocolates made by a family of Syrian refugees who now live in Nova Scotia, Canada. You can purchase Peace by Chocolate at numerous locations across Canada by checking out the map on their website.
Peace by Chocolate is a reasonably priced brand of artisan chocolate widely available across Canada
You can feel the Canadian pride by perusing the Peace by Chocolate site where they feature a chocolate bar specifically named for each of Canada’s provinces and territories. There are also peace-themed bars (pictured below) and a wide assortment of seasonal offerings. You’ll get 10% off on your first order made via their online store.
Have you tried Peace by Chocolate? As we celebrate #GreatCanadianChocolate this is one not to be missed. They continue to make Canadians happy with their chocolate made in the spirit of peace and goodwill. Be sure to check out the book mentioned at the beginning of this post, or the Peace by Chocolate movie widely shown on television (it’s run regularly on HBO) to learn about the Hadhad family and their chocolate journey. #BuyCanadian
What a great story!
It sure is, Merle. And it’s especially at tough times like we’re experiencing in the world right now, that we should celebrate the success of newcomers to our country.
I haven’t seen the Peace by Chocolate movie yet but will find it on HBO. Always great to hear successful immigrant stories.
Hi Janet. Yes, we enjoyed the Peace by Chocolate movie and I also have the book if you’d like to borrow it. It’s so inspiring to see refugees or immigrants who have fled their homeland and had the creativity and courage to recreate their lives here in Canada–one of the best melting pots in the world.
I’ll be looking out for Peace by chocolate on streaming channels and hopefully taste the chocolate one day. This is a truly remarkable story.
Thx so much for your comment, Bola. Yes, it’s so inspiring when you hear the wonderful things some newcomers are doing. They should be saluted and cherished for their efforts, and for making the world a better place.
I saw the movie about their story while on a flight. I was very excited to visit their shop in person while in Antigonish a few summers ago. There was so much to sample! Yum.
Great article Doreen!
Thx so much, Frances, and thx so much for bringing me a selection of Peace by Chocolate to enjoy. Their story is so inspiring. I’ve yet to make it to Antigonish, but we do plan to head east possibly this summer. Hope you’re doing well.
I have had their chocolate – it is lovely. And the book is a great read. Beautiful story.
Thx so much for chiming in, Donna. We’re so fortunate to have such talent in our country.
Peace by chocolate is a very good Canadian chocolate so if you find some I’m sure you will love it
Thx for sharing your thoughts, Kim. I’m always amazed at how many creative products Peace by Chocolate continues to create. ❤️
What a delightful story, Doreen. A hard-working immigrant family starts a successful business that makes something delicious and promotes peace and harmony throughout the land. You should send this one in to Nice News and the Good News Network. Well done!
Thx so much for your words of encouragement, Karen. So nice to see you back on Chocolatour. I’ve never heard of the Nice New Network.
Cool. I will look for Peace by Chocolate on streaming stations and also, hopefully if I manage to visit Nova Scotia in the near future, which I’m hoping to do.
Super, Linda! So nice to see you back at Chocolatour. Yes, Peace by Chocolate makes fine chocolate with a strong message. ☮️
