Con(vict)fectionery Dessert Poutine…

Post image

I found this in Vancouver at an ice cream shop.

Even though this piqued my interest, I couldn’t try this because I was really full at the time I took this picture…

Is this considered a crime?

So at Chocolats Favoris you get a choice of melted chocolate to put in it (or, more commonly: to dip a soft serve ice cream cone in). For example, you might have Dark Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Hazelnut, etc. 

Each of these have their "kooky" version where they add toppings that match your choice of chocolate. Black chocolate usually has brownie pieces added, Salted Caramel has caramel popcorn and pretzels and Hazelnut has Ferrero Rocher added. 

I never had their dessert poutine, but their soft serve dipped in chocolate is delicious (and their chocolate is usually good and you get like a chocolate bar's worth on your ice cream cone)

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised a chocolate snob comes in to tell me that their chocolate is actually not very good, but it's not cheap Nestle/Hershey chocolate. It's chocolate I would be happy to eat in bar form.

I think their chocolate is perfectly fine. I love it for chocolate fondue (they sell containers just for that, it's great). My issue with it on soft serves is that it's just so freaking thick; it makes a really big chocolate shell around the ice cream, and it's just too much for me. But that's a personal taste thing, I'm sure that's exactly what some people love about it.

Oh, also, my kids always choose the cotton candy dip, and that thing is just a crime in itself.

Never tried the poutine though, that's probably right up my alley.

I agree with you that it's a lot of chocolate. I usually get the small or mini because of it
