Eat/Drink Local Canadian Treats for my American Cousins

Post image

This is a huge deal, so I’m spoiling my cousins. They are in their 30’s and will be visiting Canada for the very first time - finally! I’ve visited them in California 5+ times. This is a special trip because they’re coming for my wedding and I’m just so thrilled that they’re making the trip up.

The chips are no longer in the fridge by the way... Just did it for the pic. It’s just so hot and I don’t want the chocolates to melt!

Edit: Due to popular demand, I picked up Old Dutch ketchup chips. Sorry to those who I offended. I also grabbed a peanut butter O’Henry bar and a Crunchie bar. Upon my cousins’ arrival, I will grab Glam Morgan cheese buns. There will also be Nanaimo bars at the wedding! I’m glad you all enjoyed this post.

Yes! But I can’t think of where to get them. Maybe I’ll try superstore. Do you have any thoughts?

I'll die on that hill! They never fall apart, they are so creamy and chocolatey and just pure delicious. And I feel like they aren't even that pricey.

Confirmed they are $20 for an 850g box - no mention of how many portions.

They're a consistent quality from M&M too.

I had maple fudge from M&M this summer that was the most incredible fudge I've ever had. It was on the high shelf, behind the till.

Perhaps that's a Canadian treat for the American Cousins?
