Canadian Old Fashioned Cookies
Introducing our refreshed packaging design. Crosby’s now puts Canadian pride front and center with a prominent maple leaf and “Proudly Canadian” declaration, reminding us that this isn’t just molasses, it’s a piece of Canadian history. For 146 years, Crosby’s has been sweetening baking traditions, passed down from generation to generation in kitchens across the country.
Crosby’s Fancy Molasses is that taste of home where the flavour brings you to a place of comfort. And there’s no better way to celebrate our new look than with a delicious molasses cookie recipe that gives you that reminder of home.
