These are all “predominantly” east coast of Canada chocolates. So, they’re pretty popular for us, but maybe not the whole country. I don’t know if you guys get Turtles chocolates in Ireland, but the peanut clusters are the cheap versions of them (normally made with pecans, not peanuts).
Chicken Bones are a hard candy that are only available at Christmas that some go crazy for in Canada (more so on in the Maritimes). There is a Chicken Bone Liqueur made local here in New Brunswick as well.

As an American with the drama going on in America right now, I am completely jealous of the Canadians whose most immediate problem is a brand of chocolates from their country which they have never heard of before today. Carry on Canada!
We have a candy similar to the peanut cluster in the US: Goo Goo Clusters. The original has roasted peanuts, marshmellow, nougat, and caramel all covered in milk chocolate. Among the other varieties my favorite is the pecan goo goo. Same ingredients as the original substituting roasted pecans for the peanuts. A similar candy made of pecans and caramel covered in milk chocolate are called 'Turtles."
To me, Ganong chocolates taste like Christmas! Nearly every household in NB has a bowl of chicken bones on the coffee table during the holidays, and there is a distillery that started making a chicken bone flavoured liqueur last year that sold extremely well. Try that next time!
As an American, it's so interesting to see everyone's reactions to food coloring. Brightly colored food/candy is seen as normal here, and we don't think much of it.

I'm from the Maritimes. Down there a chicken bone candy is a small cylinder shaped cinnamon hard candy filled with chocolate. It's called that because it looks like a little chicken bone and it's crunchy. Never cared for them myself. Looks like what you had there was based on the idea (a chocolate covered cinnamon cream). If you were in the Maritimes, you could get the rejects that are double dipped and sold in plain boxes for a fraction of the price of the Delicto brand (and look more like a homemade chocolate)
I'm distantly related to the Ganong family. My father's mother's father's mother's father's mother was a Ganong - I think she was a sister to the founding brothers, though maybe an aunt. The Ganong Chocolate Museum in St Stephen, New Brunswick is a cool visit. The kids love the fact that there are plates full of chocolates scattered through the place that you can just eat (though probably not during Covid).
@@joshuahillerup4290 It may be regional or it may be dependent on which stores you shop in. i.e. Maybe Sobey's doesn't carry them but Superstore does. I shop at Co-op these days so I am not in touch with what other chains are doing.
I think these are the things in the WALLS of chocolate you see in every grocery store around Christmas. But we're so used to seeing just an entire wall of sweets that they all look the same.
Martin and my 2nd favorite twin that’s really not a twin. Dermot also brings out the best in people. Great line up of people for this video. They all play well with each other.
I honestly only seen these for the first time a few years ago after Walmart started dedicating a whole section to them. They are our budget chocolates. I would never give them as a gift, but have received them as a gift. I wouldn't even buy them for myself.
I'm a 34yo Canadian and I have never tried nor even heard of this brand of chocolate before. I usually get or have received Lindt, Pot of Gold, Purdy's or Turtles because my family loves each other.
Ganong factory is in my home province (New Brunswick) near the US border (Main) we don't have that much going for us here so we will proudly support our old chocolate factory, even though its not the best. I had a chance to go on a tour of the factory when I was a kid (over 20 years ago) it was pretty cool and they gave us a bunch of chocolate and candy. Chicken Bones are a bit of an acquired taste, I love them but I grew up with them, we only get them at Christmas. They don't have the caramel ones? Those are the best ones.
These are absolutely the chocolates you get someone you barely know as a gift at Christmas. They're ok to eat once all the good chocolate is gone but not something you'd buy for yourself.
Everyone who sends something in which has a peanut or peanut butter variety should send a spare one with red velvet flavor and label it specifically for Dermot.
Utterly surprised by how many Canadians say they’ve never heard of Ganong. At Christmas especially their ads are everywhere. It’s not Christmas if you don’t have at least one box of Ganong chocolates in the house. Note I’m in Ottawa and every store here carries Ganong.
Grew up near the factory and they do something called the Redwrap. It used to be a 5 kg box of assorted chocolate that was only made at Christmas. (it's much smaller now and kind of pricey) 😕
After reading so many other Canadians I now wonder how far from their New Brunswick factory they sell. I grew up in Ottawa and to me it’s especially part of Christmas. We’ve always had boxes of their chocolate at Christmas and this year will be no different. I don’t remember the big box mentioned in this thread but I’ll be looking to see if it’s sold here this Christmas :-).
They are cinnamon hard candy with a chocolate centre. They sort of look like wing bones from a chicken, but I think they are called that because they break into shards when you crunch them.
Ganong's are mostly available in the Maritime (eastern) Provinces. Mostly unkknown in Quebec and further west. Re pronuciation: emphasis on the second syllable of Ganong
Watching this 3 years on… definitely bargain brand chocolates. Laura Secord is the quintessential Canadian chocolate brand and better quality. Named after historical Canadian figure. Just discovered your channel and loving your videos.
Weird... in the US, "chicken bones" candies are a crumbly, peanut buttery confection (like a much crumblier Butterfinger), often with coconut but not covered in chocolate and not nougaty.
These are more of an East Coast thing, I'm guessing. They're also our "Dollar store" Christmas chocolates. Ganong does makes other great candies and chocolates like Chicken Bones, which I find weirdly sweet and spicy.
The Ghostbusters 2 references are lost amongst people who aren't in the know. I think you should react to the Ghostbusters movie and have Dermot host it.
