Over the last few years I've been living away from my home country, Canada. I've been traveling the world exploring all kinds of snack foods, junk foods, and sweets, but my heart is still in Canada. I'm going to be back home for an extended period, and I've decided to compile various lists on the theme of Canadian candy and snacks. Each week, for the next several weeks, I'll be posting a different list of Canadian candies I've reviewed in various categories. Some of these treats may be available in other parts of the world, some are exclusive to the Great White North, but in my mind all of them are Canadian.
Above I've mentioned that I wasn't really sure if all of the treats on these lists are in fact exclusively Canadian. Today is the exception, today all of these treats are Canadian, and I know it. I know this because I bought almost all of them directly from the people who made them, and I bought these all in Canada.
Nothing is more Canadian than the idea of eating a bear. For some reason Canada has this reputation with wild animals, and many of our candies are themed with nature. Lanark Village treats is a fun little candy store in Ontario that capitalizes on this trend with a really tasty, chewy treat.

Cocoa West, a candy store recommended to me by some friends from British Columbia, makes an egg that has the most peculiar name. It's called the "Unbelievably Good Egg" and it lives up to its name.

My friend Carrie is a proud Canadian, one of the things that proves her Canadianess is her love of cranberries. While she has a normal day job, annually she heads out to the cranberry marsh to work the fields. She also always has some cranberry treats for me to try.

The last two entries in today's list are all about potatoes. Prince Edward Island is famous for some of the best potatoes in the world. They're also not shy about promoting their amazing products, and this bag of chips is a great example of that.

This treat on the other hand, is a great example of how the people of Prince Edward Island like to innovate with their potatoes. Not only does this ball of fudge look like a baked potato, but the fudge itself is made of potato.
