For one month only, Craig’s Cookies is stuffing their cookies with Nanaimo bars and butter tarts
The patriotic creations are part of a limited-edition Canada D’Eh mixed pack
Oh, the renewed patriotism, how sweet it is—literally. In honour of Canada Day and our beautiful country that is not, as of yet, ruled by an orange despot, Craig’s Cookies has unveiled a special Canada D’Eh mix that will be available until the end of July. The flag-waving box smuggles iconic Canadian treats into Craig’s classic chocolate chip cookies.
“I just think that, now more than ever, we need to celebrate Canadian identity and Canadian spirit—and what better way?” says the company’s founder, Craig Pike.
The limited-edition cookies are inspired by some of the country’s most iconic goodies, including Nanaimo bars, chocolate-glazed doughnuts, Caramilk bars and butter tarts. Most to-the-point is the Oh, Canada!, covered in red and white sprinkles. No word yet on a poutine flavour—maybe next year?
“Every Canada Day, my family would go to the local mall for pancake breakfast and all-you-can-pour maple syrup,” Pike says of the inspiration behind the maple-butterscotch cookie. “Come to think of it, that may have been the start of my sweet tooth.”
The Canada D’Eh mixed box costs $18 for six cookies or $35 for 12, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre.
