LOVE them!! I am wondering if they might be a variety of Turkish delight.... Which I also love.... I just found out that there's milk chocolate covered turkish delight... yum... I have no idea where I've had them before, I only know that I can eat about 1 million of them. You have great taste Grace! :) <em>On a Limb with Claudia's last blog post..</em><a href='http://www.on-a-limb.com/?p=1036' rel="nofollow">If you met an angel…</a> I LOVE those candies. LOVE them!!
