| Read about this Aussie treat on this site, and spotted some in a grocery store here. Delicious, really like how it lives up to its name and crumbles. Makes sharing fun. Thanks for the tasty tip! |

| Which grocery store did you find them in? I'll run out tomorrow to buy some. Didn't know those precious bits of confection could be bought here. Yum Yum Yummy |

At a place called Le Grande Orange - it's a pizza shop (great food) w/ a small gourmet grocery attached. It's on the southwest corner of 40th St. and Campbell in Phoenix.
When I saw them, I got all excited and my friend thought I was crazy.
They also carry what's probably called "vintage" candies, although they're just the crap I loved when I was a kid. Stuff like pixie sticks, Chunky, Necco wafers, etc. Cool, eclectic store. |

Sweet...that is just down the street.
There was an article in the business section about those shops and others in the area...great revitalization and niche concepts. |

Yes, I've got neighborhood envy - wish Coronado would get something like that.
I like the crumble's motto on the side, "It's how it shatters that matters". I was afraid that it'd be really hard inside, but it just melts in your mouth. A great summer chocolate treat for the heat! |

Sorry, I'm trying to cut down.
Actually I was trying to make the point that these big photos in the personal signature section are extremely annoying.
It appears to be working.
I call this one the "tumbling Keries of lameness" |
