New candy creation embracing national pride

Beth England from Evelyn’s Candy House shows some of the new Canadian Love Bars that are being created locally.

A new candy treat available in Amherstburg has a bite of national pride to it.

The “Canadian Love” milk chocolate bar combines milk chocolate, white chocolates, toasted pecans and an additional ingredient known as “maple meltaways” and is made locally. Beth England, manager of Evelyn’s Candy House, says she makes the “Canadian Love” bars daily.

“We do a lot of homemade bars here,” explained England. 

The newest creation is geared towards showing pride and love for Canada with England saying customers have been reacting well to it.

“It’s been doing well. It’s been great to see people picking it up,” said England. “People have been showing their love for Canada and Canadian-made products.”

England said it was suggested to her by owner Richard Peddie to create something keying on Canadian pride and she developed the “Canadian Love” bar from there. They are created in small batches and they are made daily in the kitchen.

“We’ve been selling out almost every weekend,” she said. 

Evelyn’s Candy House, located at 63 Richmond St., is also happy to ship them to customers, England added.

“We’re always creating something new,” she said. 

The “Canadian Love” bar is $13.95 each. More information can be found at https://evelynscandyhouse.ca/products/canadian-love-bar.
