In this day and age and with all the gizmos and such and with the horse and wagons replaced by those big brown jalopies, it might be a hoot to order some Canadian goodies over the worldwide web. If anyone can help me do that please send me an electronic mail.

Just go to Amazon.  (I hate those guys but they do have everything).  They carry a Nestle Canada and a Cadbury Canada assorted box.

The only chocolate bar, or not bar, is Peace By Chocolate. 

Made right here in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

Fantastic story of a Syrian Chocolate maker that lost everything in the Syrian war and came here as refugees.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you feel reasonably normal.

There's the PB Oh Henry.

It's a Reese peanut butter core surrounded in peanuts and caramel, covered in chocolate.

They were making a PB Oh Henry Blizzard for a while at DQ. My wife doesn't even normally like DQ ice cream, but she was all in on those Blizzards!

Oh Henry? That's one of our top-selling candy bars!

But while a normal Oh Henry is good, the PB is next level.

It's funny; growing up in WNY I have never known ANYONE who didn't LOVE a Coffee Crisp, and yet they seem to remain hard to find in most places across America.

Seems like a product that should/could/would instantly become one of the best sellers in the USA is more people knew about them and had easy access to them.

My favorite Canadian (you really mean British, not Canadian) candy bar is Mr. Big! 

Coffee Crisp is a strong No. 2 though.

One Canadian bar I forgot to list was Sweet Marie.

Canadians have candy?  I assumed they snacked on whale fat and dried salmon.

I thought they just had all dressed potato chips and maple syrup

I am positive that SKOR bars are actually Canadian, no? 

Huh, I guess it's a Hershey product. I wonder why I associate it with Canada?

It’s very popular in Canada but originated in the US in 1981.

Here is a crazy candy bar fact.  Kit Kat was created by Rowntree in the UK.  They licensed Kit Kat production to Hershey in the US in the 1970s but they sold to Nestles in 1988.  So Kit Kat’s are made by Nestles around the world except in the US.  Hershey keeps the license as long as it isn’t sold.

I never knew this existed. Looks like Amazon has a 24 pack… hmmm ….

Wish I could try just one locally. I’ll have to look around.

You people.

Peanut butter belongs in a sandwich with jam or jelly.  Not in some chocolate "cup."

Ou tout garnie en francais (all dressed)...  It means it is loaded with ingredients such as with pizza... Yummy!

[North Buffalo]

Love me some cadbury dark chocolat... also  choices of potatoe chips but US has increased varieties... love dill pickle chips

I like Watchamacallits, but I don't see them much. These are WhoZeeWhatzits in some Canadian maritime provinces.

I think the WhoZeeWatzits are a remake of a spin off of the "Thingamajig", which was around in the 1980s.

Sadly they are now discontinued.  I remember from camp up in Haliburton, the Toronto kids used to have a motto for Sweet Marie "the only girl with nuts."

I never heard of these until you posted.  Then I saw one at the gas station yesterday.  Bought it.  It isn't bad.

Does this qualify? Can toffee be considered a candy bar?

Probably.  I remember so many kids growing up getting some Toffee from home.  Didn’t know it was still popular.
