Where I'm from those are called Rockets
Rockets taste better than (US) Smarties too. Try them back-to-back in a blind taste test if you ever get a chance and judge for yourself.
The funny thing is, some of the US candies are made in Canada, and you can taste the difference between them and the US-made ones.
Source: grew up in the US, but dated a Canadian in the 00's. I preferred Rockets so much that I'd buy them from Canada to eat when I got back to the US. That, and maple candy. And All Dressed chips.
you gotta try Hawkin's cheesies sometime!!
Oh fuck yeah bud. Pass over the Hawkin’s
I believe I have heard of that before. Interesting name for these.
Smarties are a different candy in other countries. More of an M&M, candy coated chocolate.
Crucially though, peanut free. So, very popular for elementary schools around Halloween, where M&Ms are not allowed. Also, lots of places would hand out Smarties instead because it’s more accessible.
