[PW] Re: Candy question

Would this be what you want? They do call it fancy rock candy, but their other description is cute. "Fancy hard candy with a little design in the center"

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?
