I absolutely LOVED Chew Chew cookies and am so happy to see someone else remembers them. I would love to get my hands on a recipe, or just the cookies themselves!

I too, LOVED Chew Chew cookies and I wish I could find the recipe. I'm gonna keep looking, there has to be a recipe out there somewhere.

I do remember the Chew Chew cookies. They were definately my favourite. Fell off the face of the earth and can't find the recipe. Very aggravating.

Chew chews were also my favorite. I have found something close but not quite as good. They are called caramel rings, made by Little Debbie. They are available at most supermarkets where the Vachon cakes are. I buy mine from Walmart. They are as close to chew chews as i have found but just not the same.

the best cookies ever, hands down. There is a similar cookie available in Extra Foods/Superstore - Loblaws products - a no name product (yellow bag). These are shaped like "goodie rings" in rounds, like donuts. They have a very similar top to chew chews, but a vanilla cookie base. They are not nearly as good, because the crisp and chewy base was what made chew chews the great cookie that they were. My best friend and I used to buy a bag of them and eat them in one sitting! Sigh. I'd love to have one right now!

Yes i remember Chew Chews fondly.. have tried both the Little Debbie and No Name Product renditions and while close, still miles away from the caramelly-coconut goodness.. damn shame theyve disappeared tho i suppose my waistline is thankful as im sure there would be little to no restraint shown in eating them lol

Just ate two of the no name brand and i think they kick. I am a landscape contractor and years ago did work in Mississauga Ont for a man from Buffalo who moved to the area. I was intersted to find out that he was a big wig at Loblaws. I mentioned Chew Chews to him. Months later they appeared on store shelves. So I like to think I had a wee bit to do with the knockoff Chew Chews. We get them in boxes by the way. I just came on to try and find a recipe and this link popped up.

Bring back Chew Chews! Hands down the best cookie of their time. I remember them from my childhood and the closest thing I've found since are the Girl Scout Samoas. They are really good but dont't have that same chewy quality... nothing compares to the original Chew Chew cookie!

I found a Weight Watchers product that is very very similar to the Chew Chew... it is called Toasted Coconut mini snack bar

Lovee Chew Chews!!!

Does anybody remember what the base was made of?

I am 43 and the chew-chew cookies are simply the best ever, bring them back in Quebec please,but just after the Nordiques Lol

Can anyone confirm which company made chew chews (the best cookies ever!)? If I remember correctty, they had thin, chocolate, diagonal stripes, on the top and the bottom was covered in chocolate. Can anyone confirm if this is how you remember them?

Sue - those are them!

The closest thing I've found to Chew Chews are Girl Scout cookies from the USA - they are called Samoas. Google them - they are fantastic (just a little less chewy but same taste).

They were a very nice treat i remember. My grandmother used to have them when we cam to visit in Ottawa. I have not seen them in years . CCan we get a recipe or a company to make them. May there is so many restrictions on foods that there may have been a product in the cookie that the government has banned. my brother did try to give me a fraudulant chew chew from the states called cocunut dream by keebler. Not bad but is not a chew chew.

They were a Christie's product....have looked for them for years. Closest so far was the No Name yellow bags version mentioned above. Wish Mr.Christie would bring them back!!

I remember my family used to call them Croc-o-chews because that was how the name was rendered in French on the French side of the bag. and yes, they were definitely made by Christie. "Mr. Christie, you make good cookies!"

I loved those cookies. They were the best thing on this side of Heaven. The base was similar to an ice cream cone, but with deeper indents. So glad I am not the only person who remembers Chew Chews.

I loved chew chew cookies too... I did however eat a fibre 1 bar today " chewy light chocolate flavoured " that tasted so similar to the chew chews , that's whAt got me thinking about them!

Agreed, Sneeking into the pantry without mom catching me was worth the risk for Chew Chew's. Need to start a campaign to bring them back.

I remember the bottom being wafers and caramel. They were my all time favorite cookie. Wish I could find the recipe. I also loved the two soft cookies with raspberry jam in the middle. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the cookies. Raspberry Jammers? argh.

PLEASE BRING THEM BACK I WILL PAY TOP DOLLAR. BY FAR THE BEST COOKIE I HAVE EVER EATEN.

I used to save my allowance and buy Chew Chews. Too much filler in the NN ones. Going to try to alter some recipes and make. I will share here if I'm successful. (Nancy, the others you speak of are Jam Jams...simply sugar cookies rolled out, thimble or cookie cutter to 1/2, bake, cool and put a thick jam between :) )

"Fibre 1" - oats and chocolate bars at Costco are very similar to Chew Chews. They remind me of those cookies growing up

I loved Chew Chew cookies, they were a summer staple on long car trips. They would get all soft and melted in the hot car. That's the only time I remember having them, but I loved them.

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one out there that has been jonesing for a chew chew cookie for 30 years or so. You know it's something special when that happens. Please Mr.Christie, bring back our cookie!!

I remember my dad just loved chew chew cookies and I used to sneak them all the time , I wish you would bring them back . Missed them they were the best cookie ever

Tendres - Fibre 1 bars are the closest things I've tried that comes close to what I remember. I sat down one night as a young teen and ate almost an entire bag. Best cookies ever!

Oh how I love Chew Chew's!! They were my favourite cookie as a child. Crispy yet chewy with toasted coconut, lots of caramel and chocolate too. You just can't beat them. I've also tried the 'no name' brand cookies mentioned in previous posts but they aren't nearly as good. Please Mr. Christie, bring back our favourite cookie!!!

These were my favourite cookies as a little girl over 40 years ago. The last time I found them was in the 80s. The no name brand is no good. They aren't chewy at all. Chew chews were aptly named because thats all they were....pure chew. Don't even compare. The closest I have come are samoas. If you make them yourself you can make the as chewy as you like. But nothing like the original! Bring them back, please!!!!

NO FRILLS, RCSS, FORTINOS all carry them. Yellow box, No Name Brand now called, "caramel coconut cookies". They taste like the Chew Chews I remember

Please bring back Chew Chews. The best cookies ever!!!

Found this recipe. haven't tried it yet. CHEW CHEWS 1/3 cup butter, softened 1/3 cup honey 3/4 cup molasses 4 egg whites 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt Beat butter, honey and molasses in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Then beat in egg whites. Set aside. Combine flour, coconut, baking soda, salt and in a small bowl. Stir into butter mixture until well blended; spread in greased 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll pan; level the top with spatula. Bake in a moderate (350 degree F) oven for 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 2 inch squares. Makes 35 squares

Sorry folks but I have to completely disagree those NN brand cookie rings are nothing close to chew chews...I can still taste them as though it were yesterday...first of all they were square, not round and most importantly, they were not a cookie base but a thin wafer, similar to the Ferraro. Nothing better than the sound or feel of the chewy crisp when you pulled it apart, oh and the fine little strands of caramel...it’s insane something that good could just disappear! I long for the Chew Chew cookies nowadays are just sad...

The best cookie EVER. Has anyone tried Donna's recipe?

OMG. I loved them, too. Ate them until they disappeared. I was probably about 9-10 years old. Can't even find a vintage photo of the cookie box.

Outstanding! Loved these. I'm trolling for a recipe, someone out there must have knocked these off?

Great to find this stream after thinking about how good Chew Chew’s were. When I was a teen in the 70’s my Mom loved them, as did I but when she’d go to have one and see a couple of rows gone she’d say who at all my Chew Chew’s? I’d say not me, I hate them so must be my sister! It was me lol. We were in BC and I’d call them by the French name Croc-o-Chew’s. Orange coloured bag. Awesome cookies. Write to Christie to bring ‘em back! Why companies ditch stuff people love is beyond me such as, Snack Bar, Lowney Lunch, Cuban Lunch (forget the fake one made in Alberta, it sucks) and now Campbell’s doesn’t even make my childhood fave that I loved all my life, Green Pea Soup. REVOLT!!!! Lol

I loved them too. Definitely a wafer cookie and that’s what’s missing from today’s offerings. I bet transportation was challenging. They got melty pretty easily. In the US mallomars aren’t available in the summer. What about Christy Cream d’menthe cookies? Open faced chocolate covered vanilla cookies with minty cream and chocolate drizzle. I ate a bunch of those.

i remember how chewy and yet melty these cookies were!! i have a picture of me as a child with a bag of them on the table!! it is a black and white photo... but you can see the Chew Chew bag! if anyone would like to see it let me know lol.. ahhh nostalgia :)
