If you’re from New Brunswick, you know Chicken Bones as the iconic pink, cinnamon-flavoured candies with a rich chocolate center. 🍬❤️ But did you know they’ve been a local tradition since 1885, crafted by @GanongBros? Over 135 years later, these sweet treats are still handmade in St. Stephen, NB!

Celebrate a piece of New Brunswick history and #BuyLocalForGood this holiday season! 🍫🎀✨

Thanks to a collaborative mindset, Pollipop delivers delicious New Brunswick flavours in each candy. 🍁

When co-owner Carina moved to New Brunswick, she quickly recognized the value of our natural resources. Visits to maple syrup producers and berry farms gave way to the idea of Pollipop.

Carina knew collaboration was vital: for the candies to taste like New Brunswick, the ingredients would have to come from New Brunswick.

With the help of a local supplier, Carina was able to achieve her goal. From maple syrup to wild blueberry and haskap juice to organic cranberry juice, the key ingredients used in the Pollilpop products come from New Brunswick.

@pollipop.ca is a sweet taste of home. ❤️
