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.

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...)
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.
For chips, Covered Bridge.
I thought that was a brewery out in Stittsville way
Kerr's looks like it has a comparable product line to Nutty Club.
Kerr makes hard candy that is awesome. Lemon drops too.
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...
Not Canadian but these Portuguese candies are sold in Portuguese bakeries and stores in the GTA and they're like crack!
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.
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.
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).
Maynards is made in Canada. Not Canadian owned, but made in Canada. Fuzzy peaches are brilliant.
