This smile says it all.... Happy early birthday to my good friend Steff! Gabe and I pulled it off. After weeks of planning with Gabe in two stated during it all, we had a great night last night at Carrabbas's in Wilmington. The plan... John from my office call her and asked her to come to a builders meeting and get some business. She was in. We headed down early to search for ribbon cardy for my dad and some other important things at the mall. Gabe and Kirk then collected all the MANY MANY kids, and guest and headed down. They hid out aross the street an texted with me untill Steff and I had been seated at a table for 16. Then everyone came in and SURPRISED HER!

You can NOT get them any where we live, NOT TN, MN,NC,or FL so only when I went home to Red Bluff did I get them. Somethimes my mom would ship them. Now I am forced to eat The Fudge Shoppe Fudge Sticks with NO FLAKES..come ON the is sucks....

Mother's Vanilla Flaky Flix - DISCONTINUED BY MANUFACTURERMother's Vanilla Flaky Flix 7oz packages OUT OF PRODUCTION We continue to receive lots of messages asking about this item. Here's the bottom line. The company changed ownership and many of the old favorites were dropped. Unfortunately, both flavors of Flaky Flix are completely gone. Anything you may find now, from even the last production runs, will be well past the expiration date. Sorry we can’t help, but take some comfort that you share disappointment with a lot of others.
