Tell me ya’ll remember these? I’m sure they’re still around, just not where I live at lol! What ever happened to the good ol’ days where you could walk into the corner store and get MADD shit for $1? *Sighs* In the candy category, Chick-O-Stick certainly is classic.

Here’s some things about Chick-O-Sticks you might not know:

What they really are is a peanut butter toffee crisp covered in coconut. Pretty simple. A lot like the inside of a Butterfinger bar, but a bit more solid (as you can see in the close up if you click on the photo).

The taste is good, sweet with a nice hit of salt and a really good roasted peanut butter flavor. Even though the coconut looks pretty minimal, the taste is pretty significant. Unlike some of the other crisped peanut butter candies, this one contains no trans fats, in fact the only fat in it comes from the peanut butter itself. They’re much easier to carry around than some chocolate candies because it doesn’t melt, so I can see this being a good treat for hiking or shipping long distances (the Atkinson website mentions shipping them to Iraq).
