Whatever the name brand is of the company that makes those Mexican Wedding Cookies.

A reddish container with golden carriages on it.

I've never even paid attention to the name, because I'm fat, and they belong in my tummy.

Stuckey's is still around. The town I grew up in (Arkadelphia, Arkansas), at least, still has one that is alive and kicking.

I like salty snacks dipped in white chocolate... especially Ritz crackers with peanut butter. Pretzels coated with white chocolate are also really good.

Home-made chocolate covered cherries. Don't like the store bought ones. Then Pecan-tassies (mini pecan pies), then the various cookie varieties, including the home decorated sugar cookie type.

Yup, Thursday I drive to Ohio to visit my family. It will be the first time my daughter meets her 2 aunts and 6 nefews. That and the food will keep me coming back :p

+1, though I prefer them homemade. Very easy to do. Involves flour, butter, pecans, and confectioner's sugar.
