I want to follow up with a thanks for the help I got on my question. My
father was absolutely crazy about those candies, having first had them
in Europe in 1983. I have been looking for them ever since Macy's
didn't sell them as Famous-Barr had before the buyout.

Unfortunately, the day after I posted this question, my father passed
away from the pulmanary fibrosis he had been suffering from, and I was
unable to get him some in time. It has been some time since I last
visited this newsgroup, and it has been to an extent fun and fascinating
to read the follow-ups in this thread.

But most important, it is gratifying to know the help that I was given
in getting the answer to my question. For that, I want to thank
everyone here.

Warmest regards for the holiday season,
