Hey I like your avatar picture of those Tastykake Krimpets! We can't get them very easily here in So. Cal and when I used to visit Philadelphia when I was a kid they were my favorite thing to get. 100% tasty!

 

In the late 1990's a large supermarket chain here in So. Cal called Albertson's (I believe they're called Acme on the East coast) started selling the Butterscotch Krimpets in boxes at some of their stores. That lasted for maybe a year or two and then they disappeared. Now I can only get them at Philly's Best sandwich shops and only in 3 packs which are expensive to buy.
