Candy of the Day - Chick-O-Sticks

The Chick-O-Stick is one of those truly unique candies. I mean what is it? Toffee? Wafer? Truth be told it’s a mutant combination of peanut butter, sugar, and toasted coconut that kind of tastes like the crispy center of a Butterfinger bar. Chick-O-Sticks have been made by the Lufkin, TX based Atkinson Candy since 1954 and is based on two rival candy novelties: the Chicken Bone and Turkey Leg and apparently Atkinson found the sweet spot, because it’s outlived both.
