Atkinson Candy Company is a beloved American candy manufacturer best known for its nostalgic, handcrafted sweets and iconic peanut butter treats. Founded in 1932 in Lufkin, Texas, Atkinson remains a family-owned company with a legacy of traditional recipes and small-batch candy making.

Atkinson’s signature product is the Chick-O-Stick®—a crunchy, peanut-butter and toasted coconut candy that’s been delighting customers for generations. Their peanut butter bars, peppermint sticks, and sugar-free hard candies are also favorites among those who appreciate classic American confections with a simple ingredient list and bold flavor.

Made in the USA and gluten-free, Atkinson’s candies are especially popular with retailers looking for retro candy, old-school flavors, and high-quality peanut treats.

Top products include:

• Chick-O-Stick® (full size and bite size)

• Atkinson’s Peanut Butter Bars

• Sugar-Free Starlight Mints

• Cinnamon Discs

• Soft Peppermint Sticks

Fun fact: Atkinson is one of the few remaining U.S. candy companies still making peanut brittle and other classics using copper kettles and open-flame cookers.

York Snack Food Distribution Inc. proudly carries Atkinson products, helping local stores, candy shops, and nostalgic snack lovers bring back the sweet flavors of the past.
