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.
