About This Quiz

Canada is known for many things. Universal health care, being super nice and the Mounties. But they also have some great candies! Since they’re not far off from America and other countries, inspiration comes from all over. But Canada has some unique flavors that you won’t see anywhere else or that are more prevalent there. Maple syrup for one. And you better believe there’s a poutine flavored jelly bean out there somewhere. With all the different provinces and regions in Canada, each one is going to have their spin on something and add a little bit of hometown flavor.
It’s so exciting to travel to a new place and to get to experience the food they have there that you won’t find anywhere else. Candy is no different. The care that is put into some sweets over bigger, mass-produced candies really shows in the flavor. Most countries have banned additives and other preservatives that are still present in a lot of American candies. But aside from that, Canadian candy takes risks and isn’t afraid to be a little weird. Sorry, they’re not sorry. Can you name all these Canadian candies from just an image? Take this quiz to find out!

This delight is covered in chocolate and found in red, white and blue striped packaging. Which Canadian confection is it?
Big Turk
Charleston Big Chew
Adam & Brooks Whirly Pop
Cube Pops
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The Big Turk gets its name because it is essentially a chocolate coated Turkish Delight candy. Turkish delight is a gummy candy of sorts, and the premium varieties can have nuts or dried fruit in them.

This layered candy bar will give you the jolt you're looking for in a delicious way. What is it?
Moritz Icy Squares
Coffee Crisp
Orion Choco Pie
Jones Carbonated Candy
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This candy consists of alternating layers of wafers and a soft, foamy coffee flavored candy that can only be compared to a nougat. All of that is then coated in chocolate and ready for your afternoon, or morning, consumption. It is coffee, after all.

The peanut flake surprise inside is unexpected, but your tastebuds know this familiar flavor. Which is it?
Cadbury Eclairs
Yorkie Chocolate Buttons
Crispy Crunch
Mandy's Butterscotch
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Crispy Crunch was created by an employee of William Neilson, a Canadian dairy company that also made candy. When a chocolate bar contest was announced, he took his love for peanut butter and created this gem.

CandyAisle via YouTube
Which candy bar is as simple as it comes, but delicious nonetheless and comes in a simple white wrapper?
Squirrel Nut Zippers
Chuckles
Fizz Wizz Popping Candy
Neilson Jersey Milk
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

While Cadbury now makes this candy bar, it was originally made by the Neilson dairy company. It's really hard to find a bar with the Neilson moniker, and there legitimately may only be one left in the world.

Aero

You don't think of chocolate as being light and airy, but this one certainly is. Which is it?
Walnut Whips
Jelly Babies
Aero
Hi-Chew
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Aerated chocolate seems like a weird concept. It's chocolate that is turned into foam from adding a type of gas to it to create bubbles. Maybe you don't want to know about how it's made, but it sure does taste delicious.

Caramilk bar
CandyAisle via YouTube
First sold in 1968, which chocolate bar has a gooey center that will leave your fingers delightfully sticky?
Mamba Fruit Chews
Sponge Toffee
Twizzlers Goodies
Caramilk
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

A Caramilk bar is the perfect combination of milk chocolate and caramel. There are other flavor profiles as well, such as maple (of course) and cappuccino. Also, the caramel to chocolate ratio is smartly favored in the caramel direction.

Mr. Big
CandyAisle via YouTube
Made by Cadbury, which Canadian candy is the largest bar produced by the company and technically labeled as a candy bar and not a chocolate bar?
Mr. Big
Junior Caramels
Grape Laces
Caramel Log
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Canada has higher standards for chocolate than other countries, so this bar is not classified as a chocolate bar. That's because the chocolate coating is not to a high enough standard to be called chocolate.

Wunderbar
Wiki Commons by Evan-Amos
We can only guess which Canadian candy bar is creamy peanut butter mixed with crispy rice bits, caramel and covered in chocolate. So, which is it?
Funny Money
Wunderbar
Big Cherry Bar
Yorkie
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Another candy made by Cadbury (we're sensing a theme here), this bar combines all of the best flavors of candy into one bar. It can be hard to find, but it is available online through candy retailers.

What is the name of this Canadian candy bar consisting of toffee, peanuts and chocolate?
Reed's Candy Rolls
Nancy's Fudge
Eat-More
Pleasure Bar
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The dark toffee is chewy, which already gives the bar a unique aspect, and it was originally created in Canada. There was also a caramel version released which completely replaced the dark toffee altogether.

This candy isn't anything like the American version of it. Which Canadian candy of the same name is actually closer to the M&M?
Love Hearts
After Eight Bar
Caramel Apple Cow Tail
Smarties
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These chocolates are coated in colorful, crunchy candy coating. When they were being produced in England, they were called Chocolate Beans but were renamed to Smarties Chocolate Beans, and the name was changed again to just Smarties due to copyright issues.

You won't find this Canadian candy anywhere else. Which confection is chocolate covered raisins or pretzels?
Glosettes
Allan Big Foot
Rocky Road Bar
Cadbury Twirl
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

There are varieties of this in many countries, but you will only find the name Glosettes in Canada. They differ from Raisinets in that Glosettes can be raisins, but they can also be other candies or pretzels.

Maltesers
Wiki Commons
Which chocolate-coated Canadian candy will tease your tastebuds with every bite?
Jelly Tots
Buncha Crunch
Maltesers
Garbage Can-dy
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Maltesers are very similar to Whoppers in the United States. They are a crunchy, malted milk ball center covered in chocolate. They are a little more aerated than the American version, which tends to be on the dense side.

Mackintosh Toffee
CandyAisle via YouTube
Unlike the British version, the Canadian version of which candy was hard instead of soft and sold in a rectangular and tartan box?
Astro Pop
Popeye Tasty Candy Sticks
Curly Wurly
Mackintosh Toffee
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Later, a soft version was created for Canada and packaged individually. That one is more like caramel than toffee. As of late, Canada has started re-releasing the hard toffee version under the name Mack bar.

Crunchie
Wiki Commons by Evan-Amos
Which candy bar is crispy, sweet like honey and surrounded by a thick layer of milk chocolate?
Crunchie Bar
Hot Dogs
Dynamints
Slo Poke
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The crunchy part of the Crunchie Bar is the honeycomb. It's light, airy, sweet and is the perfect compliment to creamy chocolate. Cadbury advertises it as mouthwatering crunchy pieces in your mouth.

Swedish berries
CandyAisle via YouTube
Similar to the ocean variety in taste and texture, the Canadian version consists of different shapes and made with pear juice. What is it?
Danish
Swedish Berries
Molly-O
Max Headroom Candy
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This is basically the Canadian version of Swedish Fish except it's shaped like a clump of generic berries. They both are made by the same company, which is why they're so similar in taste and consistency.

Maynards-Wine-Gums

Which Canadian candy is like a gum drop but without the sugar coating?
Tidal Wave Bubblegum
Tearjerkers Gum
Wine Gums
Melody Pops
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These chews usually come in different shapes like a crown, kidney or rhombus. They're called wine gums because they are labeled with the name of a wine such as port, sherry or champagne.

Thrills Gum
Wiki Commons by Kylekersh
Go for a wild ride with this purple confection that tastes of rosewater. Which is it?
Dina Sour Eggs
Punkys
PB Max
Thrills Gum
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

So many people say that this gum tastes like soap, but that's definitely just the floral flavor of the rosewater. That's been said so much that the company actually put that it tastes like soap on their packaging.

Ganong Fruitfull Jellies
Ganong Bros via YouTube
Crafted from premium ingredients, which sweet and chewy candy is a delight for your eyes and your mouth?
Ganong Fruitfull Jellies
Gatorgum
Chicken Bones
WigWag Bar
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These candies are made with real fruit purees, and each gummy candy is shaped like the fruit from which it's flavored. The detail is crazy too. You can see the wedges of the orange and the lumps of the raspberry.

Kerr's Maple Kisses
National Post via YouTube
It's no surprise Canada would have a candy flavored like this, but which one isn't the drop shape like an American candy of a similar name?
Cuban Lunch
Kerr's Maple Kisses
Maple candies
Lucky Elephant Pink Candy Popcorn
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These aren't anything like the chocolate kisses that are sold in America. These are soft and creamy maple candies made with real Canadian maple syrup. They are sold individually wrapped in a bag big enough to share. Or not.

Pal-O-Mine
Tami Dunn via YouTube
Which chocolate bar is full of peanut fudge and covered in dark chocolate, a break from the normal milk chocolate?
Marco Polo
Toffee Crisp
Pal-O-Mine
Cookie Dough KitKat
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This candy isn't horse shaped, and the name apparently comes from a child calling Ganong a "pal of mine" when he would give his leftover candy to school children in the area. But that's just one story.

Cherry Blossom
Candy Inspector via YouTube
We would like to cordially invite you to try this Canadian version of an American treat beloved around Christmas time. Which is it?
Bottle Caps
Mars Fudge
Neon
Cherry Blossom
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Americans treat themselves with a cherry cordial, and this Canadian candy is very similar. It's essentially a maraschino cherry surrounded by a cherry syrup and then by magic, covered in chocolate, coconut and roasted peanut pieces.

Skor bar
Wiki Commons by Evan-Amos
While you may know this from the shelves of American stores, it was actually invented in Canada. Which chocolate covered toffee bar is it?
Skor
Creamy Caramels
Jube Frogs
Licorice Babies
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Canada sure loves its toffee, and we can see why. This thin layer of dark toffee coated in a thin layer of chocolate is the perfect thing to satisfy any sweet tooth. It works really well as an ice cream topping, too.

Bounty
Wiki Commons
The flavoring and packaging bear a striking resemblance to an Almond Joy, but in Canada, it goes by a different name. Which is it?
Maple Toffee
Bounty
Bridge Mix
Excel
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Bounty chocolate bars consist of a creamy coconut filling fully enrobed in chocolate. They have a tropical feel, and even the packing looks like a similar candy in America. Coconuts definitely make people feel the island vibe.

Mirage bar
CandyAisle via YouTube
Described as being filled with bubbles of air, which chocolate bar features a yellow and white wrapper?
Dentyne
Tiramisu KitKat
Mirage
Dare Juicee
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The Mirage bar is similar to the Aero bar in that the inside is light and bubbly through the process of injecting gas, but the Mirage bar is thicker. Essentially, they are the same exact thing made by the same company with two different names.

Cadbury-Flake
Wiki Commons
Made by an employee who realized the excess chocolate from coating other candy bars created its own interesting effect, which candy bar is it?
Wicked Wormies
Soothes
Wax Lips
Flake Bar
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

When the chocolate on the conveyor belt builds up at the end and hardens, it creates a ripple of chocolate that is still absolutely delicious. Hence why a Cadbury employee thought it would make a perfect candy bar on its own.

Oh Henry!
Wiki Commons by Evan-amos
Canada loves combining multiple flavors into one candy bar, and we aren't complaining! Which candy bar is very Snickers like?
Oh Henry!
Hot Lips
Mr. 2 Big
Jos Louis
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This scrumptious candy bar is filled with peanuts, caramel and fudge all covered in milk chocolate. There are two versions of this bar, but no one really knows the real story of its origin.

Pot of Gold
Stef In Canada via Youtube
You're very lucky if you find one, but if you can't, which hunk of chocolate will suffice?
Match-Ems
Pot of Gold
Burnt Almond
Rosebuds
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

There is no pot of gold here, but a box of chocolates filled with truffles, peanuts caramels and other fine fillings. We suppose the box could be the pot and the chocolate confections inside are the gold.

Jaw Busters

Better make your dentist appointment now. Which candy is also called a bruiser if it's bigger?
Nibs
Marathon
Jaw Busters
Golden Crisp
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These are essentially the same thing as a Jawbreaker but in Canada are called Jaw Busters. It's a large ball of sugar that dissolves the more you suck on it. If you get the larger ones, they will be called Bruisers.

Dare Maple Leaf cookies
Tim Burton via YouTube
Not a candy per se, which sweet treat is maple cream stuffed between two shortbread cookies?
Galaxy
Caramac
Munchies
Dare Maple Leaf
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This sandwich cookie is a delicious combination of maple cream and a sweet cookie. It's also shaped like a maple leaf, which is fitting for Canada. It's produced in a nut free facility!

Zero bar
Wiki Commons by Evan-amos
The packaging looks quite icy, but the candy bar inside is a soft and chewy mix of caramel, almond and peanut nougat. Which is it?
Zero Chocolate Bar
Loot
Gold Mine
Aztec
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This candy bar differs from many in this list in the way that it's coated in white chocolate instead of milk or dark. It makes sense to have the extra sweet coating since there is the salty element of the almonds and peanuts on the inside.

Kinder Surprise
Wiki Commons by Tiia Monto
These are banned in the United States, but Canada is still lucky enough to have this shocking candy. Which is it?
Rumba
Kinder Surprise
Cadbury Buttons
The Amazin' Raisin Bar
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

America has a ban on little toys being hidden inside of candy, so you won't find these there, but you can still find them in most other countries including Canada! Which toy will you get inside your chocolate egg? It's a surprise!

Kit Kat bar
Evan-Amos via Wiki Commons
You might think this is an American candy given the familiar name, but Canada has a completely different recipe for it. Which candy is it?
Picnic
Bar Six
KitKat
Toblerone
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

America does have KitKat bars, but in Canada, they are entirely different. Canadian chocolate isn't as sweet as American chocolate, and they also have higher standards for the production of chocolate. In Canada, the candy is made by Nestle, and not Hershey's like in America.

Nanaimo Bar
Wiki Commons by Sheri Terris
If you haven't heard of this, it's because there really isn't an American version. Which Canadian treat is more like a layer cake?
Fritt
Juicy Drop
Funky Foam
Nanaimo Bar
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The Nanaimo bar is a three-layer dessert consisting of a wafer, a custard layer and a chocolate ganache. It's not a pre-packaged candy, but it will for sure fill your candy craving.

Sixlets
CandyAisle via YouTube
If you like small and round candy coated chocolate candies, you'll love this Canadian one. Which is it?
Sixlets
Tongue Tinglers
Bit-O-Honey
Kinder Bueno
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These seem really similar to Canadian Smarties, but the center has more of a malted taste than straight chocolate. People think the name came from the fact that you could get six for a penny.

St. Catherine's Taffy
WistlyWisteria via YouTube
Made in Quebec as a celebration candy, which one is chewy and was given to possible suitors of women over 25?
Island Bar
St. Catherine's Taffy
Luppo
Lion
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The origin of this candy is kind of messed up, but the taste surely is not. It's a pulled taffy used as a celebration of St. Catherine's Day. The actual story of how this all came about is rooted in history but could use a little updating.

Yet another chocolate bar with an airy center, which one is actually a direct competitor to the others?
Caramelize
Big Hunk
Dairy Milk
Wispa
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

What else is there to say about aerated chocolate? While the other two on this list are made by the same company, this one is produced by an entirely different one, giving it a different recipe. It was discontinued, but an Internet campaign brought it back!
