Without the Nutty Club in operation, I can’t really find anything made in Canada at all…
For chips we have Old Dutch and La Cochina and a few other good options. But I’m completely lost in the junk food aisle trying to find snacks for D&D.
If German is ok then definitely Haribo. Best Gummibears in the world! For chocolate (and if you like mint) these are the best I have ever had and they are from Winnipeg: https://www.mordenschocolate.com/
Yeah, Morden’s is amazing! I go directly to their store here in Winnipeg sometimes. But they are super expensive for something like D&D snacks that will be consumed in large quantities over several hours :)
We only got them gifted a few times but it wouldn’t surprise me. Nice treat though. Never had better mint filled choc.
Kerr’s looks like it has a comparable product line to Nutty Club.

Oh, good idea. Are they sold in Winnipeg?
My local Co-op website has them listed, if that helps.
*edit - Looked again and they’re all cough drops, though. Maybe a different store will have different options.Depends on how much you like the player group
Their logo is familiar - I’m sure I’ve seen at least some of their products in stores…
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Old Dutch is from Minnesota. The major portion of their production is done in Canada, and most of their customers are here, but their corporate head office is in the US.
ARRRRRGH. I wonder if their financials are public - maybe their Canadian branch is independent? (Like A&W Canada…)
Not Canadian but these Portuguese candies are sold in Portuguese bakeries and stores in the GTA and they’re like crack!
For chips, Covered Bridge.
I thought that was a brewery out in Stittsville way
Ganong makes Chicken Bones, which are a cinnamon candy. They’re mostly chocolate, though: Pal-o-Mine chocolate bars, Delecto Peanut Clusters, and they’re introducing a new one they bought out from an American manufacture: Sixlets, which look like chocolate M&M’s from the pictures and their website.
Prana makes a bunch of nut snacks like salted cashews and almonds.
Ganong hurts a bit - the Cookes stuck their fishy hands in that pot - but it’s still worth supporting.
The Cookes are awful billionaires but at least they’re awful Canadian billionaires? /s If we haven’t heard of them, that’s by design.
Squish is based in Montreal https://www.squishcandies.ca/
I’ve got a weak spot for Rheo Thompson chocolates. Not something you’d get at the grocery store though.
If you have a really sweet tooth, there is the Canadian Candy Company, in Cobourg, Ontario. The only problem is that unless you go to their outlet store beside the factory, you have to buy candy by the pallet (looks like about 700kg).
You could look at Bulk Barn, it’s a Canadian store that sells candies but I have no idea where they source them
I’ve noticed a lot of people on Bulk Barn’s facebook page spamming them with requests for clear country of origin labels for every product. Hopefully they act on it.
They’re also a Loblaws company
I could not find anything that confirms that
Oh! I guess I’ve been wrong about that this whole time. The one that opened near me uses the exact font and yellow that the No Frills does. I guess I just assumed.
Sweet, I can shop there.
They don’t label origin. Yet. One can hope but I have heard they have email people back that they have over 4000 items bla bla bla. Not shopping there until they label.
If you are ok with European look for Werthers, Haribo etc. They are much better anyways (in my opinion. More flavour less sweet. London drugs has a huge selection.
Yeah, definitely bought some bears. :)
Dare has fruity gummy candy made in Canada.
Edit: just saw the comment about Dare. Will look at them next time I’m at the store, I was pretty sure I read Made in Canada but will check again.
For chips
- Hard Bite
- Hickory Sticks
- Hawkins Cheezies
Just checked and the larger 500g bags of Dare “juicee” candies (I saw gummy bears, jelly beans, gumdrops, and “gumm-ehs”) made in Canada (with domestic and imported ingredients).
Maynards is made in Canada. Not Canadian owned, but made in Canada. Fuzzy peaches are brilliant.
