About Squish

Squish is a Montreal candy brand founded in 2014. It makes gummies in creative fruit, herb and spice flavours, and many of them are vegan, which is not always the case with gummy candy.

Its candies suit grown-ups with a sweet tooth, kids at heart and anyone looking for treats with more surprising flavours than the usual. A bag or two makes a fun stocking stuffer, a birthday add-on or a sweet thank-you for a coworker. Bring a mix to a movie night or a road trip. It is a playful Montreal brand that takes candy a little more seriously.
