There’s also Canada’s oldest chocolate maker (since 1873), Ganong Chocolatier from New Brunswick. They make chocolates for every occasion but are most famous for the Delecto boxes of chocolates you see every Christmas. ganong.com/the-chocolat...

Yaaaas! Although I don’t know if that’s a national thing or Maritimes-only. A friend of mine had them on tables at her wedding reception because she loves them and they’re so iconic to NB.

some retro stores sell them, but they are harder to get outside of the maritime provinces, they are one of my fav christmas candy

My human grew up in Maine and they were an only-at-Christmas treat. Still loves them!

Speaking of products from the Maritimes, I used to crave Sussex Golden Ginger Ale from Sussex, New Brunswick when I lived in Alberta. It beats Schweppes’ Canada Dry hands down. Made by the Sussex Mineral Springs Company, founded by S.H. White in 1895.

Thank you Ellie! I was just going to mention Ganong! They're available in some stores, but hopefully more widely now.

They invented the chocolate bar, their Pal O'Mine. Recently, costs rose, they altered the original recipe, IMO to the detriment of the bar. However, those who haven't had it before do like the new version.Their 'Chicken Bones', cinnamon candy coated chocolate, are classic.

Thanks I think we need to normalize having a box of Ganong's on hand for Canada Day and Easter also birthdays and anniversaries 🤔 I think I need to go buy some right now
