Was born in Maine and lived there for 18 yrs and never have had this. Will have to make it and share with all these "southern" rednecks lol.

Wow! haven't had these in a long while. I've lived in Mid-coast Maine all my life. We call them Needhams. We used to get boxes of irregulars @ Reny's (a Maine discount chain) when I was a kid but I can't remember the companies name that made them. (I really should check to see if they still have them)My grandmother used to make these & peanut butter balls for christmas too.
