Atkinson's Chick-O-Stick Nuggets PB Coconut Crunchy Candy, 2 lb Laydown Bag | Bulk crunchy bites for parties and pantry, gluten free, kosher, vegan. American made since 1932.

I just bought a bag of these Chick-O-Stick candies for my mom who has enjoyed them for a very long time and who is currently recovering from hip replacement surgery. I ordered directly from the seller, AtkinsonsCandyCompany, who is the creator/manufacturer of this candy. I had read some reviews on here that spoke about how the bag they received contained expired candy. Or, how the thought that the recipe seemed to have changed for the product and it was not good and didn’t taste the same anymore. I’m glad to say, and this includes my mother as well, who has enjoyed the candy probably longer than I’ve been alive, haha. That, we both thought that this Chick-O-Stick candy tasted just the same as it always had tasted and was very fresh to boot. So, I can’t say conclusively that the company has not changed how this candy made. But as far as I can tell it’s the same as it always has been. It’s funny, too, I don’t really like coconut at all. Yet, the way it’s lightly spread on to the Chick-O-Sticks. Well, I never have seemed to mind eating coconut that way. The part I enjoy the most is the peanut butter taste, though. But, perhaps some customers who bought this thought the taste and recipe has changed because they bought their candy from a different seller other than the manufacturer like I did. Again, I can’t say for sure but it seemed to taste like it always did to me and I’m pretty sure my mom would have noticed even more than myself if it wasn’t the same candy. Still, it’s possible the recipe is not the same perhaps. But I just wanted to pass on my thoughts to others thinking about buying this. I don’t know how many other sellers are on this page selling the Chick-O-Sticks. Perhaps, though, just try to buy it from the manufacturer/seller, AtkinsonsCandyCompany, like I did, if you want to make sure you’re getting the same candy you remember. Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase and especially because my mom is enjoying it a lot while she is not feeling the best and recovering from her surgery. I think, along with some other stuff I bought for her, it’s helping to make a stressful time a little better for her I hope. I’m actually back today to buy two more bags of the candy just to have around and because my mom’s recovery at home will take a while. One last thing I really like from this purchase was how full the bag was and how many of the smaller candies it contained. It is a tad pricey I think. But, I still believe I got good value for my money. Like I said, I’m back to buy two more of them right after I finish this review. :P Oh, and, just for nostalgia’s sake I was wanting to get my mom the traditional longer sized Chick-O-Sticks like you usually find in gas stations and convenience stores. Yet, now I’m actually quite glad that I chose the smaller version of the candy because I just found it to be more manageable I believe for my mom to enjoy. While I also found that it’s a lot easier to take a handful or so from the large bag they came in and put them in a Ziploc bag or whatever. Again, I’m very satisfied my with purchase and will continue to buy them in the future for sure. Side Note: In one of the photos I’ve attached to my review the bag looks half empty. It didn’t come that way. The other half was just eaten already when I took my review photos, haha ;D.

As fresh as if I had just purchased it off a store shelf locally. Exactly the way I remember it in texture and taste! I will certainly buy this brand of Chic-O-Stick again and would recommend it to others - an excellent value also. I bought the 2 pound quantity which was an excellent value for excellent quality. The 2 pound quantity came in two separate 1 pound bags, which was very convenient. I took one for my workplace desk to have a snack, and I kept one at home for snacking at home.

These candies were great. Tasted like I remember from getting as a treat as a kid. No issues with packaging or shipment. Seemed fresh and peanut butter crunchy taste and texture were delicious.

Delicious.

I like Butterfingers, but I don't like the chocolate, I love chocolate but the two don't go together, I'm probably just an odd one. So I found these occasionally at dollar tree RARELY. maybe they're in the shelf once every few years. To find them I typed in google butterfingers without chocolate and Chick o sticks came up, ordered them on Amazon last night, got them this morning. The bag is huge, love it, quick delivery.

The candy is stale and hard as a rock. No return allowed. I don’t see an expiration date, however there is a white label over the manufacturer label.

Yum!

Not great where the coconut on top tastes not right not worth the price should be five dollars

These are like the old 1960 Christmas candy we loved hard to explain a flaky like so fresh melt in your mouth. But is a little crunchy nutty flavor
