Chocolaterie Robert is a household brand name in Madagascar where its chocolate bars can be found everywhere from small village shops and department stores to upmarket confectionery stores and gift shops in cosmopolitan areas. In rural areas, usually one or more of the chocolate bar varieties can be found.

The Malagasy cocoa, also known as “green gold” of [[Sambirano]], has in recent years gained a high quality reputation amongst chocolate experts worldwide. However, Malagasy cocoa production remains relatively small-scale in comparison to other major cocoa exporting nations.
Hand picked assortments of pralines and other chocolate creations are sold by weight at La Chocolatière boutiques. Pre-packaged pralines can also be found in some well-stocked boutiques, such as [[Lisy Art Gallery]] in Antananarivo. <br>
