just put a label text around the checkbox and text, so it bees something like:

    <label><input type="checkbox" />Add to cart</label>

This makes the text part of the checkbox

see DEMO

in html

<input type="checkbox" id="test"> <label for="test">text</label>

in JS

$(document).ready(function () {
  $("#test").click(function () {
    if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
      $(this).next("label").text("Added");
    } else {
      $(this).next("label").text("Add to Cart"); // your default color set
    }
  });
});

reference checked

jQuery.next()

using label and setting the for attribute, you can click at the text, and the box will be checked/unchecked...

<label for="check1">Label for checkbox</label> 
<input type="checkbox" id="check1" value="value1">Option</input>

DEMO

Try this

$("#chk").click(function () {

    if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
        $(this).next().fadeOut("slow", function () {
            $("#chk").next().text("Added");
        }).fadeIn("slow");

    } else {

        $(this).next().fadeOut("slow", function () {
            $("#chk").next().text("Add to cart");
        }).fadeIn("slow");
    }

});

html

<input type="checkbox" id="chk">
<label for="chk" style="text-decoration:underline">Add to cart</label>

Hope this helps,Thank you

HTML

For the HTML part, there are two ways to specify a label for an element:

1. Setting the label's for attribute to the element's id

   <input type='checkbox' id='chkCart' />
   <label for='chkCart'>Add to Cart</label>
   

2. Placing the element inside a label

   <label >
       <input type='checkbox' />
       Add to Cart
   </label>
   

I'll use the first one

JavaScript

Then you can use jQuery to handle the rest:

• First, make sure the DOM is loaded by wrapping your javascript in a .ready function (since we'll be looking to modify these elements).
• Then attach an event handler to the checkbox click event by using the .click function.
• Since we've set the for attribute for this particular label, we can use the attribute equals selector ([name="value"]) by looking for a label with the same for value as our calling element's id.
• You can check if the object that raised the event is checked on or off by using the :checked selector.
• You can use the Javascript's ternary operator to conditionally set each value
• Then rename the label using the .text function

It should all look like this:

$(function () {
    $("#chkCart").click(function () {
        var lbl = $(`label[for='${this.id}']`);
        var msg = this.checked ? "Added" : "Add to Cart"
        lbl.text(msg);
    });
});

Demo in Stack Snippets & jsFiddle

$(function () {
    $("#chkCart").click(function () {
        var lbl = $(`label[for='${this.id}']`);
        var msg = this.checked ? "Added" : "Add to Cart"
        lbl.text(msg);
    });
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<input type='checkbox' id='chkCart'/>
<label for='chkCart'>Add to Cart</label>

You can associate onChange event to your checkbox , if it's checked , you show your text,else you show the link . DEMO HERE

HTML code:

<input type='checkbox' id='check'/>
<label><a href='#'>add to cart</a></label>

JavaScript/jQuery Code :

$('#check').change(function(){

  if ($(this).is(":checked")) $(this).next().text('added');
  else $(this).next().html("<a href='#'>add to cart</a>");

});
