Chicos 500g

Chicos 500g (Chico Babies)

Chico Babies — usually just called Chicos — are one of the most recognisable retro Aussie lollies in the country. Made by Allen’s, they’re chocolate-flavoured jelly babies: same soft, sugar-dusted gelatine chew as a jelly baby, but deep cocoa brown with a rich, malty chocolate flavour instead of fruit. This 500g bulk bag is the pick-and-mix format for anyone who grew up pinching Chicos from the nan’s lolly jar, or for retailers and event planners restocking a serious supply of old fashion lollies.

What’s in the 500g Pack

The 500g bag holds roughly 90-110 individual Chico Babies, each a small baby-shaped jelly about 3cm tall and dusted with a light icing sugar coating to stop them clumping. The bag is resealable, which matters for a gelatine lolly that can harden when exposed to air. Perfect for topping up jars, filling wedding lolly bags or just keeping a serious share stash.

Taste & Texture

The texture is pure classic jelly baby: firm on first bite then soft and chewy as it warms up in the mouth. The flavour is where Chicos stand apart — a gentle cocoa and malty milk profile rather than straight chocolate. It’s closer to a Milo or chocolate milk vibe than a dark chocolate bar, which is why Chicos have their own loyal following separate from jelly babies.

• Baking and decorating: press onto cupcakes or use as party cake toppers.
