Chuckles Candy




Chuckles candy is one of those old time candies that you either love or hate. It's been around since 1921, and according to my math, that's 90 years! That's a long time for a simple jelly candy to survive. Farley's and Sathers has been the owner since 2002, and they're still making them like I remember from when my grandma used to buy them for a nickel. Still the same flavors: licorice, lemon, orange, cherry, and lime. Even the packaging hasn't changed much. I never bought Chuckles candy when I was a kid, but I've grown to appreciate them now. It's a candy that appeals to an older crowd, although my nineteen year old daughter absolutely loves them! At Woodstock Candy, we put a pack of Chuckles candy in most of our retro candy boxes, because we know you will have encountered them somewhere during your childhood. Even if you didn't eat them as a kid, chances are that your parents did. Each pack contains five individual pieces, neatly aligned in a row. They're coated in sugar, and aren't overly sweet. You can make them last a long time, and they don't get sticky and they won't melt. A lot of New Yorkers who have moved to Florida say they are hard to find there. But here in New York, they're easy to find; probably because we love them so much!
