Musk sticks are a popular confection in Australia and New Zealand, available from many different suppliers. They consist of a semi-soft candy stick, usually extruded with a ridged cross-section, and always some violent shade of pink. Their flavour and aroma is quite floral, reminiscent of musk perfume. They are also called 'musk sweets' and 'musk lollies'.Also available is a fruit-flavored variant called "Fruit sticks",which look like coloured musk sticks. They come in green,orange or yellow.

Musk sticks are occasionally used as a real or joking unit of exchange or barter. Eg- "I'll give you three musk sticks for half your sandwich" or "Nice coat! I'll give you two musk sticks for it".
