FLAKY FLIX

“Recently, I was on my new favorite social media playground called ‘li.st.’  While browsing around, a friend of mine named @bluepuddles (by the way, I’m @CookiesbyDave on li.st) suggested that I try and find a recipe for ‘Flaky Flix’ cookies.

Sort of embarrassed to admit that I was not familiar with Flaky Flix, I did some basic research.  Here’s a quick summary:  Flaky Flix were once mass produced, but then suddenly disappeared and have since drifted into a collective memory.  Now these wafer cookies covered in chocolate and coated with Corn Flakes are the cookie equivalent of Sasquatch living in Area 51.  A delicious legend wrapped in an enigma.  Challenge accepted.

After a quick internet search, I discovered a few options and I must say, I was deeply satisfied.  Plus, the recipe was very simple for such a mysterious chocolaty find.  These are yummy chocolatey sticks of crunchy goodness.  Certainly worth the search.  Enjoy!”
