Mary that link for the Square Bites had a phone number. I can't imagine
that they wouldn't ship some to you! Call and ask.

I haven't seen anything like these anywhere else, even in Trader Joes, which
I usually enjoy a lot. At the very least they could let you know if they
are available somewhere near where you live.

Like you, I just don't enjoy sweets that much... (thankfully!)
