Hell to the yes!!!!
 
I was getting them at the Dollar Tree just a few months ago.
 
I'm pretty sure they sell them in most grocery store candy bar racks up by the cash register.
 
They make them in dark chocolate now, too.
 
They are still dee-lishuss.

Yeah, I haven't thought about Chunkys in a while either. Used to like them a lot!!!

My favorites when I trick-or-treated as a kid (back when LBJ was president) were peanut butter cups, plain and almond Hershey bars, Mallo Cups, and little boxes of Junior Mints and Milk Duds. I used to swap any Milky Ways, Butterfingers, Mounds, Clark bars, and any non-candy bar stuff. Never liked the Neccos or Sweet-tarts stuff. 

Being the good (and relatively safe) old days, we also got quite a few homemade treats--the most common being popcorn balls wrapped in colored cellophane. Some folks gave out bags of cookies or hand-dipped chocolate stuff. The only thing my Mom really checked was any apples we brought home, because, as everyone knew, some people stick razor blades in them.

The treats we give out now are small Kit-Kat bars and peanut butter cups (yawn). I've always wondered why, on the bags of small candy bars, they're always labeled "fun size." I always thought the full-size bars were more fun!!!

Nah.
 
On the other hand...
Asbestos chips, with some a nice wood varnish dipping sauce...yum.
 
 
I think the main reason I like them is because it's my main source of Anise/Licorice.

I'll bet that scare's been overblown...but what would Halloween be without overblown scares?  Who wants to think Halloween's all about safe, harmless fun?  OK---parents do.  But kids like a good fright sometimes.

TK says 'Halloween' and 'LBJ' in the same sentence.

Guess there is a first time for everything.

Made a big ol' pot of spaghetti sauce today.  Of course, that included maybe half a teaspoon of anise extract.  It really gives the sauce a whole other quality.

I used to hate getting those foil packets of Alka Seltzer.
 
But then, after gorging myself on all that candy, they provided welcome relief.
 
So in reality, they were actually a very thoughtful thing to give.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHUNKY'S???
 
And Thor, yes, we played "Church" with the Necco Wafers, too. We used a stemmed candy dish as the chalice and folded one of my Dad's hankerchiefs over the top of it.
 
And if any of you old timers have a need to know: the Vermont Country Store now sells:
 
Bonomo Turkish Taffy.
