I remember getting mini Chic-O-Stics. Loved them. ---

IIRC the cheap way out for parents was to buy Brach’s. You could mix and match a bunch of candy for cheap. [Brach’s products](https://www.brachs.com/products.html) Didn’t they make a version of these with a caramel layer? > **[Farewell to Brach's Neapolitan Sundaes](https://www.candyfavorites.com/blog/brachs-neapolitan-coconut-sundaes-discontinued/)** > > Brach's Neapolitan Coconut Sundaes are classic candies that imitate a Neapolitan ice cream sundae and were one of the first candies offered by Brachs. ---

I would love them. I seem to only find Chic-O-Stics in random gas stations in the middle of Indiana. They don’t seem to be super commonly stocked here (I _think_ I’ve probably seen one at Walgreens, but they also occasionally sell stuff you don’t see anywhere else like that violet-flavored candy whose name is escaping me … _googles_ … Choward’s Violet.) A mini chic-o-stic in my kids’ stash would be gold to me. I’ve never seen one. With candy corn, I can’t even eat one, much less “just one.” Awful stuff. Candy corn bratwurst I might try for the novelty: > **[Candy Corn Bratwurst: A Trick or Treat?](https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/candy-corn-bratwurst-a-trick-or-treat/2763721/)** > > A store in Wisconsin is making bratwurst with candy corn. Would you try it? I suspect it’s not even as bad as one might think – just little sugar bombs throughout the bratwurst. I wonder how much the candy corn softens up or possibly melts when the brats are grilled up. ---
