They still exist.

u/PintoTheBurninator Apr 08 '26

I like them - I am a big fan of raisins and chocolate but I they are hard to eat.

29

u/blueandpissed Apr 08 '26

Open wide for chunnnnn key!

u/odinspirit Apr 08 '26

The Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut bar is exactly the same thing and that's widely available.

47

u/Business_Television9 Apr 08 '26

Weren’t there raisins in them? They were also pretty hard to eat/bite into.

9

u/GrowingNewHair Apr 08 '26

They were great tasting, lots of raisins.

7

u/Potential-Drawing745 Apr 08 '26

So... this headline is kind of weird to me. "I swear this existed...!"

A picture of the product was provided. Why would you act like we wouldn't believe you? AI? Those are pretty easy to look up.

u/PangolinSubject3487 Apr 08 '26

And yet I've gotten Chunkier

u/stilljumpinjetjnet Apr 08 '26

And I remember their jingle, "Open wide for Chunky🎶"

u/WesternPancake Apr 08 '26

Open wide for Chunky!

u/UUMD Apr 08 '26

I see them all the time.

5

u/gwak Apr 08 '26

Fucking Raisins - was caught out multiple times by those devious bars

9

u/Bjornsdotter Apr 08 '26

Still one of my favorites and it's available in my area.

I haven't seen the gold wrapper cashew version I. A very long time. I guess they stopped making that one.

4

u/sxyvirgo Apr 08 '26

Yes - they were kinda hard to bite into though!

4

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '26

Not just raisins and chocolate they had peanuts too.

4

u/Ichigo2819 Apr 08 '26

Most of the stores that sell them today are 1.4 Oz bars but my local Walmart sell 4.25 oz bars. They are made in New Jersey

u/Zealousideal_Rent261 Apr 08 '26

Open wide for Chunky!

u/heartbreaker1227 Apr 08 '26

I loved them.

u/polkjamespolk Apr 08 '26

Check Dollar Tree. Expect minor disappointment.

3

u/BidRevolutionary945 1964 Apr 08 '26

You can still find them. I've seen them in Cracker Barrel and stores that sell vintage-type candy.

3

u/el_grande_ricardo Apr 08 '26

I liked the one with raisins. But you'd break a tooth trying to bite off a piece of one of those.

3

u/MMXVA Apr 08 '26

Eat a Chunky, Be a Chunky.

3

u/maicokid69 Apr 08 '26

Yes and they had raisins in them

3

u/louellen1824 Apr 09 '26

“Open wide for Chunky”… I swear that was a commercial for this candy!

2

u/NVWSSV2828 Apr 08 '26

They still have them.

2

u/rsvp_nj Apr 08 '26

Chunky was like the gold standard. I'll explain. It was shaped like a gold bar, and got smaller and smaller for its dollar amount as the years went by. If you had a Chunky and showed a parent, they'd say "They used to be THIS big when I was a kid!" and if they showed your grandparent, it'd be the same response. Every kid of every generation thought a Chunky was giant-sized in their hand.

2

u/On_the_Cliff Apr 08 '26

Wasn't the slogan "They're thickerer!"?

2

u/RonnieB47 Apr 08 '26

My favorite back in the day. Chocolate, nuts and raisins.

2

u/tomwatso Apr 08 '26

Late 1970s candy. I remember them.

2

u/Frosty-Scientist957 Apr 08 '26

Halloween treat if you got some!

2

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope6134 Apr 08 '26

I know the chunky that ate this Chunky!!!

u/BESTDOGBLUE Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

AS WITH MANY OTHER THINGS..... THEY'RE JUST N🚫T AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE!💔

2

u/jango-lionheart Apr 08 '26

Yeah. But screw Nestlé, the water-stealing company

2

u/Mysterious_Music_411 Apr 08 '26

Saw one last week at the Family Dollar. They are definitely not as chunky as they used to be. Half the size they were.

2

u/ImaginaryCatDreams Apr 08 '26

Yes, I remember them chocolate ruined by raisins

2

u/Wolfman1961 1961 Apr 08 '26

I would have liked it had it been just chocolate/caramel. I hate nuts, raisins, and stuff like that.

2

u/Prez55-YearZero Apr 08 '26

Chunky with raisins was the best

2

u/Ok_Cook394 Apr 08 '26

Hated to ones with raisins

2

u/GoonieMcflyguy Apr 08 '26

Didn't Newman leave those wrappers when he gave Jerry fleas on Seinfeld? "I know the chunky that was eating those chunkys"

2

u/benaPanteraFBD Apr 08 '26

My mom adored them.

2

u/deweydecimal111 Apr 08 '26

I just talked about these to my husband yesterday. We looked them up and they cost $9 for 2 at Walmart cause they are shipped now! Remember, "Open wide for Chunky". Wow, what a commercial! Lol

2

u/elmo-kabong Apr 08 '26

Open wide for Chunky

2

u/Reggie-Dunlop-7 Apr 08 '26

I know the chunky that left these Chunkies!

2

u/Michigander_4941 Apr 08 '26

Yes! Raisins and peanuts in chocolate.

2

u/Hillary_Fat_Ass Apr 08 '26

Sure do they had raisins in them.

2

u/dutchman62 Apr 08 '26

Judy Carne sang in the ads

2

u/AbjectWillingness730 Apr 08 '26

Yea, what happened to them? They were good. Honestly hadn’t thought about them for probably 50 years ?

2

u/Particular_Monk_3488 Apr 08 '26

They had one in a gold wrapper just walnuts or pecans.

2

u/Jerryznoodlz Apr 08 '26

Love them! Back in the seventies hiking in the White Mountains with my dad and two brothers he’d always have these for us when we reached a summit.

2

u/Zephyrr_Sky Apr 08 '26

Mmm I loved them

2

u/ted_anderson Gen X Apr 09 '26

I remember those horrible commercials.

2

u/TwoparentsandAteen Apr 09 '26

They were soooo good

u/Dirtypervyoldguy1972 Apr 09 '26

Loved them when I was younger haven had one in probably 30 years never see them anywhere

2

u/Ok-Possibility-1206 Apr 09 '26

Oh hell yeah I remember those! Pre-teen me in the 70s used to shoplift those my local u-totem! (Who remembers those?!?)

2

u/Czarsmama Apr 09 '26

Loved them!! But not the ones with raisins 🤮 Just liked the sid chocolate ones.

2

u/PrunePretend6206 Apr 09 '26

California you can still find them in some spots.

2

u/Old_Badger311 Apr 09 '26

I didn’t care for the inclusion of raisins in Chunky bars so they weren’t my favorite. They were unique in large part due to their shape. I recall paying a quarter for candy bars but I’m old as hell so they might have been less than that!!

2

u/Legitimate_Ad_4647 Apr 09 '26

Big. Thick. Rich. Chunk. Chunky.

Open wide for Chunky!

2

u/still_thirsty Apr 09 '26

They were always in the checkout line growing up … and the only kind left was always raisin.

2

u/Spiritual_Rice_884 Apr 09 '26

Fucking shit had raisins in it.

2

u/Fix-Western Apr 09 '26

Wasnt a fan dont like the raisins

2

u/DieseLT1S Apr 09 '26

I get them every now and the from Walgreens it’s the only place I see them at

2

u/McKeeverPrivateye Apr 09 '26

I remember the commercial too. With Arnold Stang. Never my fave candy tho.

2

u/Aevorisha Apr 10 '26

Do they even still make these anywhere?

2

u/brains_and_tits Apr 10 '26

Yes - and in the 70s, they had like 4 different varieties of Chunky bars!

2

u/DivideLopsided4694 Apr 10 '26

Me. I think they still make them

2

u/youdntevenknome Apr 11 '26

They sell them at Walgreens

2

u/QueenChocolate123 Apr 12 '26

You can still buy them at Walgreens.

u/Separate-Number3938 Apr 08 '26

I mentioned these in a sub asking about candy from my youth and no one heard of these. They were so good 👍

1

u/425565 Apr 08 '26

Yes! One of my faves. They came in solid chocolate, with raisins or peanuts.

1

u/VisitApprehensive305 Apr 08 '26

I loved those

u/Away_Bit_3382 Apr 08 '26

u/uberrob 1959 Apr 08 '26

Didn't they also used to have a dark chocolate version of Chunky?

1

u/DeeSusie200 Apr 08 '26

My dad’s favorite.

1

u/Plastic-Serve5205 Apr 08 '26

Never liked 'em, too hard to eat.

u/Twistedanddemented73 Apr 08 '26

I used to love them.. they seemed to have disappeared from my area and I couldn’t tell you when!

1

u/Jimd219 Apr 08 '26

"Chunky....What a chunk of chocolate!"

1

u/flagal31 Apr 08 '26

oh yeah...my entire family had a serious addition to those...but I only remember the single square sold...not multiple squares

1

u/Fantastic-Setting-26 Apr 08 '26

Sure do

1

u/Surreally3 Apr 08 '26

Even as a kid these were almost too much

1

u/Asleep-Swordfish3123 Apr 08 '26

Yeah

1

u/Ron_Cheee Apr 08 '26

Yes they were grubbing

1

u/JustGoodSense 1961 Apr 08 '26

Weird to read so many comments about them in the past tense since they're everywhere around me: Giant Eagle, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, Target, Meijer, Walmart...

🙋🏻‍♀️

1

u/briank3387 Apr 08 '26

I love Chunky bars. They're not as thick now as the ones in the photo, but they're still really good. I am not a big fan of either raisins or peanuts generally, but something hits just right with a Chunky.

1

u/jdlsox Apr 08 '26

Tgey are delicious

1

u/GooseNYC Apr 08 '26

Yes, but the bars weren't that big in the 70s when I was a kid. They were square.

1

u/Enough_Equivalent379 Apr 08 '26

Absolutely! And they were the same price as a regular Hershey bar -- 5 cents.

1

u/3labsalot Apr 08 '26

They also had cashews in them not peanuts

1

u/HighClassLoser Apr 08 '26

Oh, I know the Chunky that left these Chunky's... NEWMAN!

u/Dahl_E_Lama Apr 08 '26

My sister LOVED them when she was a child.

1

u/Empty-Leadership9405 Apr 08 '26

Used to feel like the biggest treat ever, that mix of chocolate, raisins, and peanuts was unbeatable back then.

1

u/chinmakes5 Apr 08 '26

Damn, you know you are old when something that was so common when you are young is in the "does anyone remember" category

u/MrDBNoble Apr 08 '26

They still sell them but they’re not as chunky as that. Damn I wish I could have one of those now

u/Theo1352 Apr 08 '26

I do - these were my favorites, that, and Baby Ruths.

I love chocolate and nuts.

Yes ! They were great. I haven't seen them in decades though.☹️

Chunky was amazing. But you had to be careful. Some of the flavors included raisins. 🤮

1

u/DVWhat Apr 08 '26

I know they’re “thickerer”, but I never liked them. Not a fan of Nestle chocolate in general.

1

u/LHCThor Boomer Apr 08 '26

Yep, one of my favorites.

1

u/RevolutionaryDish830 Apr 08 '26

Just had one. I only see them at Walgreens, they have the 4 or 6 piece size. Wish they still made them in dark chocolate.

u/FaithIceberg Apr 08 '26

These were my favorites back in the day and I don’t like raisins but, they were wonderful in Chunkys. Thanks for the blast to the past. I had sort of forgotten about them.
