Canadians have so many reasons to celebrate and to be proud. From North to South and from East to West, Canada is an excellent place on earth to live! Yes, we do have remarkable healthcare, clean air, and amazing outdoors.

Canadians are so kind and friendly, and we have so many fabulous cultures to explore. We could spend days telling you about the greatness of Canada, but did you know Canada has some of the finest and sweetest candy treats?

Yes, we do! And at Candy Funhouse we're going to share those with you right now!

20. Big Turk

Big Turk - Top 20 Canadian Chocolate Bars

A classic Turkish delight chocolate bar coated in delicious milk chocolate. One of the most unique chocolate bars in Canada, made by Nestle Canada.

Many Canadians have had a love/hate relationship with this mysterious chocolate bar. With its red, white and blue packaging, it will often remind people of the look of Bazooka Joe bubble gum or even toothpaste!

Don't be fooled by its packing, it's a combination of turkish delight coated in a thin, light layer of Nestle Chocolate. Featured on CBC's "7 Canadian snacks you can't get in the U.S. and the backstory on why" and Danko Jones "I Love Big Turk, and I cannot lie".

Big Turk is the perfect bar for chocolate lovers with only 4 grams of fat and 60 grams of chocolate. Big Turk is the ideal alternative to an average chocolate bar.

The absolute finest Canadian chocolate bar hasn’t been around since the 1960s. I refer to the 5 Star, made in Canada NOT the India or South Africa bars of the same name. The Canadian treats were toasted coconut, caramel, chocolate heaven. I miss them still!

Great that there is a list of the most popular candy chocolate bars sold in Canada. However, are there quantifiable data to support this ranking? I would be curious to see the data supporting this.

Also, if there is a seasonal breakdown where we see some candies sell more than others, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

They’re just saying that these are eaten in Canada right? They’re not saying that they’re all Canadian. Can’t be. I mean, as soon as something is Cadbury’s – they can’t pass it off as Canadian. And Flake? Maltesers? Surely they’re just saying that Canadians eat them, not originated them.
