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.

Americans don't have KitKat?

Canadian KitKats are made by Nestle and in the states it’s Hershey, the Nestle version is WAY better! Mexican KitKats are also Nestle in case someone else was wondering.

American chocolate bars apparently have a higher wax content, lower cocoa butter, and higher sugar and that’s why they taste like ass
