KitKat Bunny: Canadian parents frequently say that holidays with family are happy, but also stressful. From the pressure of preparing to host or visiting family, many don’t take time for themselves and are looking for a break from the “break.” KitKat wants to give parents the ultimate break this Easter, by encouraging them to break off a chocolate Bunny ear, sit back and relax. Made from light-tasting, crushed KitKat wafer pieces and creamy milk chocolate, the KitKat Bunny provides Canadians with a delicious, stress-free Easter treat this holiday.

Peeps: These marshmallow treats come in a variety of shapes and colours (we like the beon yellow and pinks ones) and are often shaped like chicks or bunnies. They are a popular Easter treat in Canada and are widely available.

Jelly Beans: Jelly beans are another popular Easter candy that are available in a variety of flavours and colours. They are often used to fill Easter eggs or included in Easter baskets.

Gummy Candies: There are a variety of gummy candies that are shaped like Easter-themed objects, such as bunnies, eggs, and chicks. These treats are a fun alternative to traditional chocolate treats and can be found in many Canadian stores leading up to Easter.

Candy Corn: Easter candy corn is a type of candy corn that is specifically marketed for the Easter holiday. Similar in taste and texture to traditional candy corn, the Easter version is often coloured in pastel shades of pink, yellow, green and blue to fit with the holiday’s theme. Some Easter candy corn may also have additional flavours, such as strawberry or raspberry, to add a fruity twist to the classic candy corn taste.
