Thanks, the Amazon link looks good but not sure if I really need that many candy bars lying around. Might be easier than ordering from a local place though…

This also ain’t bad:

After reading this thread, and liking honey-based candies myself, I noticed these on the shelf of the local [Fiesta supermarket](http://www.fiestamart.com/html/index.php) last night and picked one up. This is in the Dallas area, not far from DFW Airport. Fiesta operates stores in the Houston, Dallas, and Austin areas. They tend to organize the stores around the cultural breakdown of the community they’re in. My neighborhood has a large hispanic population, so that’s the largest segment of cultural foods, but we also have a significant Indian/South Asian population, so there is a section of the supermarket dedicated to goods from those countries. For the most part this is the most culturally-aware supermarket chain I’ve ever seen. They really do their homework and bring in what people want and miss from home or what their parents may have grown up on. Our Ethiopian neighbors shop there too.

Enjoy,  
Steven

Yeah, I miss living in Austin. Le sigh.
