As much as I'm a foodie, I have to confess that I'm not a chocolate person. I know, I'm guilty. I live with a chocoholic and, naturally, I've tried many different kinds of chocolate bars, but I can't say there are many that wow me.
When we first came to Quebec, my hubby's biggest mission was to find good quality chocolate here. When we lived in NY, we could find a huge selection, including some organic and fair trade ones at Whole Foods, and most of them were very reasonably priced and good quality. Here, we found that the selection of chocolate isn't as good, and forget about the cost--it's usually at least $4-5 per bar (if you're looking for better quality ones). I don't mind paying more, but it has to be worth it!

Over time, we've had the chance to try several different brands, and
most of them aren't worth mentioning. There is one, however, I can tell you about, because it's my favorite: Dolfin! It is a Belgian chocolate and I don't recall that I've ever seen it in the US. When you first see them, the unique packaging immediately catches your eyes. In my experience, when the packaging is good, the product usually doesn't let me down. Most chocolate bars are wrapped in foil with a paper wrapping on the outside, but these have a special packaging, as you'll see below.
Dolfin chocolates come in unique flavors, each in a special color such as pink peppercorn, Earl Grey tea, Lavender, Hot masala, Cinnamon....etc. I love the texture of the chocolate; it just melts in your mouth! Next time you're in Quebec, if you're a chocoholic, you may want to pick one up. And, no, I don't get paid for this endorsement!

在這麼多口味之中，這些都是我所喜歡的
雖然我喜愛美食，但我必須承認我並不是個巧克力熱愛者。
剛來到魁北克的那段時間，
High quality and low fat cocoa with simple ingredients
使用高品質及低脂肪的可可，並且不含任何添加物怕胖的，捧友們有口福了！( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
有一段時間，我們嚐嗜了不少不同的巧克立品牌，
Dolfin巧克力的口味很多、也很特別，例如像粉紅椒粒、
Tea lovers would definitely like this one!
喜愛喝茶的捧友們一定會像我一樣愛上這個伯爵茶的口味
一般的巧克力都只是包一層紙，外層再加一層包裝紙或盒子，但是Dolfin巧克力很特別，
The silky texture of the chocolate just melts in your mouth and the taste is rich
很有厚勁，但放入口中即化的質感特別令我喜歡
There is even cinnamon and milk chocolate!
甚至有肉桂和牛奶巧克力!
They also have assorted boxes of chocolates such as this one, which make very nice gifts
也有這種精緻的俄羅斯娃娃小方塊禮盒
How can anyone resist such cute wrappers!
誰能抗拒那麼可愛的設計包裝呢！
Where to buy:
In Quebec, you should be able to find the bars easily from regular supermarkets like, Metro or IGA
在魁北克一般超市都可以買到的，如Metro或IGA

在台灣要買到完全一樣的chocolate bar似乎比較難，但是有幾種不同的禮盒可以讓大家參考看看，
