7 Made-In-Canada Easter Treats to Fill Your Baskets 

Spring has sprung and Easter is almost here. (For the record, it’s on April 20.) Not only does made-in-Canada chocolate support our economy but it also beats U.S.-made chocolate in terms of quality, because Canadian regulations require our chocolate to contain a higher percentage of cocoa compared to American-made chocolate. (This is why many American chocolate bars are labelled "candy bars" or "chocolate-flavoured" when sold in Canada.) If you haven’t stocked up on candy yet, we’ve found the best budget-friendly made-in-Canada options to fill your baskets.
