Oh Canada, Thank you for Beaver Tails!

Banana Nutella Beavertails

I first tried Beaver Tails in Manila—pretty much everything is in Manila! Sometimes, way ahead of Canada or the US. I remember enjoying this addictive pastry with my friends when we’d go to the mall. Here in Ontario, I managed to get Beaver Tails only in tourist spots such as CNE, Toronto Zoo, and Byward Market (in Ottawa—the same location US President Barack Obama visited as well!) and Canada’s Wonderland. They only have about 15 locations in Ontario listed.

These whole-wheat pastries are stretched by hand to resemble the tail of a beaver, one of Canada’s best-known national symbols. These are truly delicious! I haven’t had a Beaver Tail in a long, long while. So, you can imagine my excitement when we had a food truck for Beaver Tails come over for an office event. Wahoo!

Despite the cold and slushy sidewalk, my friends and I walked over to the food truck to get our awesome treat! I got a banana chocolate Beaver Tail. It was to die for. The Beaver Tail was deep-fried to perfection (of course, it was deep fried, why else would it be so delicious?!) The pastry was warm and flaky with a bit of a crunch. And, having some Nutella on it makes it a sure win!

I got an extra treat to share with the girls—with cheesecake and Skor crumbles. Another decadent Beaver Tail. It was rich and creamy with wonderful, crunchy bits of Skor. Delightful!

So, if you manage to find a Beaver Tail cabin or food truck, don’t let the opportunity to try this Canadian treat pass you by. Yum!
