When it comes to nostalgic candy, few treats have as much personality—or history—as the Reggie Bar. Originally named after baseball superstar Reggie Jackson, this classic chocolate-and-caramel delight hit the scene in the late 1970s and became an instant icon.
Now, with the Toronto Blue Jays making another exciting postseason run, it feels like the perfect time to bring back a treat that celebrates both baseball and sweet nostalgia. Whether you’re watching the playoffs from your couch or reliving your favourite baseball memories, the Reggie Bar is a snack that knocks it out of the park every time.
And lucky for Edmonton candy lovers, you can find it right here at YEG Exotic—Edmonton’s go-to shop for rare, retro, and international treats.
The Sweet Story Behind the Reggie Bar
The Reggie Bar first debuted in 1978, named after New York Yankees legend Reggie Jackson—famous for hitting three home runs in a single World Series game. The treat was just as bold as the man himself: a round, chocolate-coated disc packed with rich caramel and roasted peanuts.
It wasn’t just a candy—it was an event. When the bar launched, fans at Yankee Stadium famously threw them onto the field after one of Jackson’s home runs. It became an instant part of baseball lore, blending sports, snacks, and showmanship in a way only the late ’70s could.
Today, the Reggie Bar is back, keeping that nostalgic mix of smooth chocolate, gooey caramel, and crunchy peanuts that made it famous in the first place.
The Reggie Bar and Canada’s Baseball Spirit
There’s something poetic about the Reggie Bar making its return just as the Blue Jays heat up another postseason run. Baseball fans across Canada are gathering around their TVs, donning their jerseys, and cheering on the boys in blue—and what better snack to share than one that celebrates baseball history?
Whether you’re hosting a watch party, stocking up for the next big game, or just want something sweet to enjoy during those tense extra innings, the Reggie Bar is the ultimate companion.
It’s nostalgic, it’s satisfying, and it’s got that same underdog charm that makes Canadian baseball fans so loyal year after year.
