Party City has them and they seem to have a store in Albany. Can't attest as to the quality etc. Amazon have them too.

Just be grateful that you don't have to call them bon bons like you'd have to in Australia.

I saw some a couple of weeks ago in Pier One Imports and Bed Bath and Beyond in WNY but didn't look at the prices just the pretty packaging :-)

Do you have World Markets up there? If so you could give them a try. They've got loads in the Charlotte store.

Costco have them.

Made by the original makers who still supply to the queen.

And you don't have to buy fifty, they come in a pack of Eight!
