I don't know if it helps much, but any Central
European quality foods source (online and off)
should carry them. The German term is
'Katzenzungen', and you can also get them in the
Netherlands and Belgium, though I don't know the
Dutch and Flemish names they sell under. My
childhood favorite ones are made by the chocolate
company Hachez.

Failing anything else I can send you a box. Mind
you, I'm not terribly reliable, though I get
things done eventually (there still is a box of
Lübeck marzipan sitting on my half-constructed
kitchen cupboard that should already be on its way
to someone - well, I can claim it's the disruption
of the mail. Yeah.)
