Canadian Candy? (lemmy.ca)

Without the Nutty Club in operation, I can't really find anything made in Canada at all...

For chips we have Old Dutch and La Cochina and a few other good options. But I'm completely lost in the junk food aisle trying to find snacks for D&D.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but Purdys chocolates are from and made in Vancouver

Yeah, looking for crap like skittles or smarties, except Canadian ;)

Unfortunately American, but I really, really liked Vermont Chocolates' Skippers, always grabbed some when I drove to VT. Much higher quality than Mars M&M.

Hopefully some Canadian company can take their place.

Looks like dare is still Canadian, should be able to find tubs of gummies from like superstore or London drugs

I was checking the bags of Dare candies at my local Co-op. Nowhere on the bag does it say Made in Canada (or better yet Product of Canada). I suspect too many of the ingredients are internationally sourced so it doesn't meet the 51% cost threshold to have the Made in Canada label.
