Always wondered what it would be like to be Willy Wonka? A Montreal company gives you the chance to put on your finest candy inventor hat, and bring the sweets of your dreams to life.

CandyLabs allows you to customize handcrafted rock candies as well as lollipops in 2D and 3D formats.

While the store, La Confiserie Candylabs, is located on Rue Guy, you don't actually need to go to the shop to place your order. The process can be completed remotely, though you might want to visit to sample the flavours.

CandyLabs also has an online shop with ready-to-order goodies. 

You can also peruse the online store to get a sense of what kind of candy you'd like to make.

The "popular" collection includes Halloween ghosts and pumpkins, as well as Quebec's now-famous "Ça va bien aller" rainbow.

If you're not in the market to buy or make candy right now, CandyLabs frequently shares videos of the candy-making process, which — in addition to being insightful — double as ASMR because they're so satisfying to watch.

Shipping is free Canada-wide for orders over $75, and orders can also be shipped to the U.S.. Minimum quantities may apply depending on the complexity of your design.
