I hope you enjoy the recipes for Butterfingers. I am not having much luck finding a recipe for the Chicken Legs confection you enjoyed while visiting New Mexico.

Take care,

If you grew up in Texas you're probably familiar with these delicious candies, once known as Chicken Bones. Though the original name didn't catch on, their big robust flavor surely did. Made by the same company since 1932, Chick-O-Sticks are a savory combination of Texas Grade A jumbo peanuts, toasted sweet coconut, salt, and graduated sugar. The result is a crunchy, bite- size treat with a sweet, peanutty one-of-a-kind flavor. 2 lb. bag contains approx 170 pieces.



I read a comment on a board that Chick-O-Stick can be thought of as a Butterfinger without the chocolate.

Hard to believe, but I actually found some being sold on www.ebay.com when I typed chick-o-sticks in a search box on the website. Seems candy-time has an ebay store: Candy-Time Seller, manage Store
