n 1940 Jack Sweet wanted to expand Sweet Candy’s chocolate offering.  He came up with the idea of covering sweet and tangy orange jelly in rich luscious milk chocolate, and thus the Chocolate Orange Stick was born.  Over the years Chocolate Sticks have become a part of countless family traditions.  Many people recount stories of waking up every Christmas with a box of Orange Sticks in their stockings; a tradition they have passed down to their children. What began with Orange has grown to new flavors including Raspberry, Cherry, and Blueberry.

Dark chocolate has become the “right” chocolate according to all the articles that are written about healthy eating. Nevertheless, the dark chocolate raspberry was always my favorite – next to the orange, of course. I have to add my pleas along with all the others- Please bring that flavor back. We all miss them! If you ever think about adding a new flavor, why not try lemon- I bet a dark chocolate lemon stick would be delicious!!!

I use to buy the raspberry sticks every time I went to Walmart but just out of no where they stopped selling them, found them once in a while in Ben Franklins, and then bought them from Palmer’s Candy Co but when I called for them today they said they don’t carry them anymore either. So they directed me to your web site and thank God they did now I have a direct line to the source. Please don’t stop making them EVER!!! bought the pick 6 pack today cant wait til they arrive next week. Would rather purchase from the source anyway fresher that way. Blessings from Iowa. Thanks.

When I was a child my Grandmother had these. That is one of my favorite memories She would only give us one or two at a time. I always looked for them every time I went to her house. I rarely can find them anymore. I recently found then in Tuesday morning. They had 6 boxes and I bought them all. Where in Montgomery Al. can I find them.. What stores do you have them in. They shouldn’t be out just at Christmas.

Your orange sticks candy has been a favorite candy for my mother and myself for as long as i can remember. I remember when a box of chocolates would have a couple jelly sticks. We would fight over who got them. The orange sticks are by far the best candy ever produced. Thank You. I wish i could find them in stores all the time not just the holidays.
