8 Bunny-Approved Brands to Shop for Easter Goodies

On the hunt for some last-minute Easter goodies? Here’s a helpful list of Canadian candy and chocolate brands, so you can hop to it ahead of the long weekend.

Egg-citing Easter Treats from Canadian Brands

1. Purdys Chocolatier

Classic Vancouver brand Purdys never disappoints, and this year’s rollout includes foiled (some spring prints, some iconic Purdys-purple), solid milk and dark mini eggs. There’s also a version that is filled with peanut butter, hazelnut gianduja or caramel. The full Easter collection is available online and in stores until April 7.

2. Rogers’ Chocolates

Victoria’s Rogers’ Chocolates has brought out this pretty new tin filled with a few chocolates, making it a lovely gift for anyone hosting you for Easter brunch. If you’ve never visited the store, do so; it’s a piece of B.C. history.

3. Laura Secord

Laura Secord has been around since 1913, and this bit of Canadian history is worth rediscovering if you haven’t already. The range of Easter goodies keeps growing. Many treats are gluten-free, and range from classic creamy-filled Secord eggs to solid bunnies with biteable ears and more.

4. Karameller

The Spring Mix by Karameller is fun for the non-chocolate lover. Check out this adorable cello bag with gummies and some sours—all in seasonal shapes from a Vancouver brand.

5. Temper Chocolate & Pastry

Temper in West Vancouver does beautiful, artisanal chocolates, and Easter is no exception. Behold the artistry of Steve Hodge in this stunner of a decorated egg. Almost too gorgeous to crack and enjoy, but he’d want you to.

8. Galerie au Chocolat

Galerie au Chocolat is a Montreal-based brand you can buy across Canada, with a wide variety of dietary options including sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan, as well as traditional chocolate ingredients. If you’re a bunny ear-nibbler, this pair with their oversized ears will be hard to resist.
