[PW] Candy question

I'm looking for a type of candy which my mother likes, but which  
seems only to be available as part of an assortment with other things  
which she doesn't.

The type in question is listed in the assortment as "fancy rock  
candy" although I have a feeling that may not be the most common  
name. (I've been looking at online candy stores now for about an  
hour, though, and haven't seen it under any other name.) They are  
small cylindrical hard candies, diameter (if I remember correctly)  
roughly 1 cm, height roughly 0.75 cm. The circular sides of the  
candies have a pattern embedded through them, while the edge has a  
thin colored coating.

In the picture at the following URL, the candy I'm talking about is  
the one in the lower right in the front tin. (The peanut-shaped  
candies are to the left.) (Wish I could find a better image, but  
unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible.)

Anyone know what these are called and, more importantly, where one  
can purchase them?
