Especially popular in Newfoundland, its main competitor among the sweet-toothed was Blueberry Grunt. A delicious concoction starring blueberries, molasses, sugar and spices, these were mixed together to create a sauce. The sauce is then topped with dumplings and cooked on the stove. Listen out for some funny noises whilst it cooks \u2013 the clue\u2019s in the name!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Desserts\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/blueberry-butter-tart-istock-LauriPatterson-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Butter Tart \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/blueberry-butter-tart-gm168856593-24298585?st=_p_Butter%20Tart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/LauriPatterson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>No round-up of Canadian sweet treats would be complete without mentioning maple syrup.\u00a0The delicious liquid is used throughout the country, and a big help to its availability is due to the fact that the Quebec region produces so much of it. Now accessible\u00a0in liquid or powdered sugar form, the maple flavor can be enjoyed in a variety of ways; try drizzling it over ice cream or even bacon for a salty sweet treat! Another well-known Canadian dessert is the almighty Butter Tart, a masterpiece of brown sugar and butter in a flaky tart crust that people search high and low for the perfect consistency. Whether you prefer them with raisins, pecans or plain, your sweet tooth will certainly be satisfied.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3977\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Desserts\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/maple-syrup-istock-pokergecko-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Maple Syrup \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/maple-syrup-with-fall-foliage-gm496585407-41566328?st=_p_maple%20syrup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/pokergecko<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Similar in tase to a funnel cake or beignet, Beaver Tails boast a pedigree that stretches back to the 19th century.

By the 1950s nobody in Canada seemed like they could get enough of its enigmatic mix of chocolate, coconut, biscuit, icing sugar and vanilla custard powder. If you went to a council meeting, a church service or a game of bridge, there was always a thick bar around to snack on. Yet, still, there was confusion on the fundamentals of the recipe. Thankfully, that problem was solved when Nanaimo city held a contest to settle whose recipe was the best and final iteration of the bar. The winner was Joyce Hardcastle, whose mix won over both hearts and stomachs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Desserts\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/young-woman-baking-istock-Mikola249-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Young Woman Baking \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/young-woman-sifting-flour-into-bowl-at-the-kitchen-gm518587472-90117011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iStock\/Mikola249<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Much less suburban in character is the French-Canadian dessert pets de soeurs or pets de nonne, which the polite insist on referring to in French because the translation is a little rude.
