Chunky candy bars were first introduced in 1935 by New York candy maker Philip Silvershein. The bar was initially made with milk chocolate, raisins, and Brazil nuts, later switching to peanuts as the primary nut ingredient. Known for its unique square shape and thick build, Chunky stands out from traditional flat bars. The combination of creamy milk chocolate, roasted peanuts, and sweet raisins creates a distinct flavor profile that has remained consistent for decades. In the United States, Chunky is produced by Ferrara Candy Company, a division of Ferrero. This product also doesn’t include artificial flavors or colors.
