What was this candy called from the 70's-80's?
Does anyone remember what the name of this candy was called, All I can recall is... they were like big chocolate chips, semi flat...they came in what looked like a toilet paper or paper towel roll maybe 4 or 5 inches long, and wrapped (not sealed) in a shiney foil like but paper wrapper...(ends maybe tucked with the paper that was wrapped around the roll, which kept the candy inside)?
Answers:
I ate these as a child in San Francisco. They are called "Flicks", by Ghirardelli, a chocolate company based in San Francisco. Their original factory in SF has been turned into a shopping mall called Ghirardelli Square, but the company is still in business and in fact started selling their stuff nationwide about 10 years ago.
Search for "Ghirardelli chocolate" then look at the cached copy if the webpage doesn't come up normally. But I did this and I didn't see the Flicks offered on the website.

Almost sounds like a Rolo, but that's caramel. Hmmm.
Sounds like either Rollos or Tobblerone... both are still around. They were my favorite, and still are. They are called "Flicks" and are made by Ghiradelli.
