Funley's Stix in the Mud

We've been going up to Vermont a lot this summer where we're building a glorified shed cabin. The highlight of each weekend is to see if I can find some sort of new candy at the little local grocery store. I was thrilled to find these: Funley's Stix in the Mud. The little bags contain bite-sized drops of chocolate-covered cookie pieces. There's also a peanut butter and a caramel variety.
According to the website, the chocolate is a mix of dark and milk, although they don't specify exactly what the cookie pieces are.
I'm always excited to try something with a chocolate/crunchy combination, but I'm often disappointed. I think it must be difficult to maintain the crunch once the chocolate is added. On a scale of one to ten (with ten being the yum yummiest), these are about a 7. They're good, and I might try them again, but when it comes to chocolate-covered cookies, nothing beats a Twix or Jordan Crackers in my book!

(P.S. Please be patient with my terrible photos; camera issues continue to haunt me.)

That reminded me of cookies 'n cream ice cream :) If they could figure out how to keep the cookies crunchy...

I haven't found the coconut m&ms either :S They were advertised as being on sale at my local super market last week, but they never got them in!

Vermont sounds lovely, regardless of the shed/shack. http://blog.sweetservices.com/sweetscandyblog/
