Any luck with the recipe for the Denver Sandwich Candy Bar? Would love to give this recipe to my mom as it was also her favorite as a child.

Another “chicken candy” is Chick-O-Stick, which has been made by Atkinson Candy Co. of Lufkin, TX since the 1930s. I remember eating Chick-O-Sticks as a little kid in the ’60s, and wondering if they were really made from chickens. There was a cartoon chicken with a cowboy hat on the wrapper back then. Actually, Chick-O-Sticks are made from peanut butter and toasted coconut, and are very addictive! Here is a link to Atkinson’s web site where they explain the chicken connection. http://www.atkinsoncandy.com/fun/stories.asp?storyid=4

We had a band called The Fabulous Matadors in MIlwaukee and used an old Chicken Dinner truck like the one in the photo to haul our equipment around. It probably rusted away years ago. I, however, did not and The Fabulous Matadors just put together a CD of our old songs from 1963.
ROCK ON !!

Does anyone have a receipe for the Denver Sandwich Candy Bar? My 91 year old mother-in-law said that this was her favorite candy bar growing up and she would save and just nibble on the candy bar to make it last a long time. I thought that it would be a nice surprize it I could try to recreate one for her.

I am looking for information about the discontinued Denver Sandwich candy bar. This was my husband’s favorite candy bar when he was growing up and I am trying to find … well maybe a candy wrapper or something I can give him as a reminder of his childhood days and his favorite candy.

I would really appreciate any information anyone can give me about where I can possibly find either a candy wrapper or something similar.

Thanks!
