If you have a major sweet tooth you’ll want to explore the desserts of any big city you visit. And in Toronto you’ll have more than a few post-dinner treats to enjoy. We list the 10 places to find the most outrageous dessert delicacies here.

The Crookie (Clafouti)

The pastry geniuses at Clafouti have created the ultimate combination of flaky, sweet goodness with their incredible cookie-croissant hybrid. You’ll find some Oreo is in every bite of this French pastry, because each croissant is jammed packed with at least four double stuffed Oreos. We’re not done yet! The crookie is also stuffed with icing to complement the Oreo flavor, and the Clafouti crookie has been featured on Live With Kelly and Michael, CTV News, and the Sunday Times.

Cacao 70

No one really likes to share desserts, but with this outrageous amount of chocolate goodness, there’s plenty to go around. Cacao 70, located in the Distillery District of downtown Toronto is known for its assortment of chocolates from around the world, including cocoa from Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Belgium. The ‘Sharing Sharing For Two’ is their most outrageous menu item, complete with a quarter of a 12-inch triple chocolate pizza, milk chocolate fondue, graham crackers, chocolate strawberries, and your own grill to grill up some chocolate marshmallows. This item is perfect for date night, night with the girls, or, if you’re feeling brave, it can be an ambitious solo dessert.

Hollywood Cone

Hollywood Cone‘s line of ‘Mutant Milkshakes’ combine ice-cream, homemade baked goods, and candies on top of candies. The Salty Little Focker is made up of two parts; the ice cream and the toppings. The base is a mix of creamy vanilla ice-cream with salted caramel, crushed pretzels, brownies, Nutella, and decadent Nutella drizzle. To top off the base, they’ve added a whole brownie, pretzel twists, Nutella around the rim, whipped cream and a light salted caramel drizzle. While this gem isn’t in downtown Toronto, it’s worth the drive out to good ol’ Oshawa.

If you’re craving an extremely Canadian dessert, look no further than Sweet Sammie’s O Canada. This national treat is made up of a red velvet pie that is filled with Canadian maple bacon ice cream.

Holy Chuck

This phenomenon from Holy Chuck is a deep-fried wonder of epic proportions. This dessert is created from raw cookie dough wrapped in bacon and deep fried to crispy deliciousness. The cookie dough is then placed on a mound of vanilla ice cream with Belgian chocolate, and finally, to make this a Canadian delicacy, the dessert is covered with maple syrup. This dessert is obviously pretty high calorie, but is definitely worth a workout (or three).
