[PW] Re: Candy question

[Lesli]

I found one site that is calling the candy "Christmas Cut Rock Candy"
(and has a Old Time Candy choice as well)
http://www.candy4u.com/chriscangif.html

This site sells Brach's "Cut Rock Candy"
http://www.mckandy.com/items/2484 or http://www.mckandy.com/items/1871

Another is calling them "Christmas Crystal Cuts"
http://www.hammondscandies.com/item458327.ctlg

Looks like you can find it fairly easily by using "cut rock candy" in
a search engine.
