By now, you’ve heard the Hadhad family’s inspiring story: Refugees from Syria, the Hadhads arrived in Antigonish in 2015, three years after their long-running family chocolate factory was destroyed in a bombing in Damascus. They pledged to rebuild their lives in Nova Scotia, and Peace By Chocolate was founded in 2016. Five years later, PBC had expanded to Halifax—with a dazzling storefront at the Queen’s Marque—and the family’s story had become both a book and an award-winning movie. At Peace By Chocolate, you’ll find milk and dark chocolate bars, along with artisanal offerings like the kaleidoscopic-coloured mango milk chocolate and the sweet-and-spicy dark chocolate with chai.
