Maple, Muskoka, and More: A Culinary Tour Through Baskits’ Canadian Baskets

Maple, Muskoka, and More: A Culinary Tour Through Baskits’ Canadian Baskets

2025 Jun 22nd

Canada is more than a place—it’s a flavour, a feeling, and a story told through the foods we grow, harvest, and share. From the sugar shacks of Quebec to the cozy cabins of cottage country, the best of Canada can be experienced through its culinary traditions. At Baskits, we’ve captured that spirit in our carefully curated Canadian gourmet gift baskets—celebrations of homegrown taste, handcrafted quality, and the warm hospitality our country is known for.

Whether you're gifting a fellow Canadian or introducing someone abroad to a taste of the North, our Canadian-themed baskets are designed to impress, indulge, and connect.

Explore a Taste of Canadian Heritage

Every basket in our Canadian Gourmet Collection is a tribute to the artisanal producers and regional flavours that define Canada’s food scene. We've selected local favourites—from pure maple syrup and small-batch chocolate to gourmet cookies and handcrafted confections—that showcase the best of what our nation offers.

Each gift box is more than a treat; it’s a tour through the country’s most beloved culinary traditions. Whether you’re sending a taste of home or gifting someone their first Canadian indulgence, these baskets serve as a passport to flavour.

Maple Magic: Sweetness Straight from the Source

Maple syrup is perhaps Canada’s most iconic culinary symbol, and it plays a starring role in our gourmet gifts. Each bottle is made from 100% pure Grade A Dark maple syrup and elegantly packaged to reflect the care behind every drop.

But it doesn't stop at syrup. Our maple-inspired offerings also include:

  • Maple Crunch Chocolate Bars from Mimi and Liloo, a uniquely Canadian treat that pairs rich cocoa with caramelized maple.
  • Fraktals Milk Chocolate Bark, handmade with a buttery maple toffee centre and Belgian chocolate.
  • Slice of Canada Maple Syrup, a standout solo gift or featured favourite in larger baskets like Canadiana XL.

These maple-forward delights bring warmth to any season and suit every occasion—from Christmas mornings to weekend brunches.

Canadiana Moments: Comforts from Coast to Coast

The Canadiana gift baskets—available in sizes L and XL—are packed with premium treats that reflect the festive spirit of Canadian hospitality.

Some featured inclusions:

  • Newfoundland Chocolate Company milk chocolate bar—crafted with Atlantic pride.
  • Mary Macleod’s Shortbread, a beloved Toronto bakery known for its buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
  • Chocolate Pop Sensation, Crackle & Pop caramel corn, and Mimi and Liloo Maple Crunch Bar for a mix of indulgent textures.
  • Fraktals Milk Chocolate and Brockmann’s Truffini Truffles for next-level richness.
  • Canadiana XL also includes pancake mix, Slice maple syrup, Pluck Maple Tea, and Milk Chocolate Pretzel Bites.

With every bite, recipients are transported to a slower pace of life, where food is shared generously and joyfully.

Curated Pairings That Celebrate Regional Flavour

Our Canadian baskets are known for combining sweet and savoury delights that reflect the diversity of Canada’s regional tastes. Each item is chosen to complement the others, creating harmony in every box.

Highlights include:

  • Canadian Breakfast: A cozy collection featuring Hatch Coffee, Slice of Canada Maple Syrup, and Mimi and Liloo Pancake Mix—perfect for starting the day with a northern twist.
  • Tea and Treat Pairings: Baskets like Canadiana L and XL offer relaxing blends and rich confections for indulgent breaks.
  • Movie-time Snacks: Crackle & Pop’s popcorn adds a playful crunch that’s perfect for casual evenings or cozy weekends in.

Every pairing is thoughtfully selected to make unboxing a delightful culinary journey.

Canadian gourmet baskets are as versatile as they are delicious. Their thoughtful curation and premium presentation make them ideal for many gifting moments:

  • Corporate gifting: Impress clients or colleagues with a gift that’s both luxurious and proudly local.
