I generally don’t call it anything, never having heard of it at all.  
Do you really have such an amazing problem with the fact that calling a tasty peanut butter and chocolate snack by the name of a dismembered deer’s optical organ is not something that makes me go “yum!”

I’m sorry to have so offended you by not taking up your local slang for a food item, but I’m not from this area, I’m just temporarily living here. I was similarly repulsed by the idea of a food item called Shit on a Shingle when I lived briefly in the south. I guess that makes me a bad person.

Honestly… why do you care? I am just looking for a recipe.

Mods, can you close this thread? this is fucking absurd at this point.
