Hawkins Cheezies

🧀 Canada’s crunchy, cheesy obsession.

Born in Tweed, Ontario in 1949, Hawkins Cheezies has been a Canadian snacking staple for over 75 years. Family-owned and operated from the start, this iconic brand was built on a love for quality ingredients, quirky innovation, and real aged cheddar. What started as an extruded cattle feed experiment in the U.S. became one of Canada’s most beloved comfort snacks, thanks to W.T. Hawkins’ business savvy and Jim Marker’s engineering know-how.

Made in small-town Ontario and still proudly Canadian-owned through four generations of the Hawkins family, Cheezies are more than a snack — they’re a crunchy piece of Canadiana.
