They are on the page.  I think the third or fourth down under candy.  I copy
and paste what it says;
'Armadillo Droppings
On a Ranch, not far from Bandera, Texas, Old Maria was mixing pralines in
the big black iron kettle on the old ranch stove when 2 armadillos knocked
over the trash can. The pralines had gone on cooking much longer than usual
and when the cowboys came in for dinner and saw all them little pralines
lined up in a row, Slim drawled "Whatcha got there, Maria? Armadillo
Droppings?"....and so a Texas tradition was born.'

Yesterday I posted the address I have on the box but sure enough, it looks
like Lammes carries them.  I would love to get hold of the Horny Toad candy.
  I used to catch and keep horn toads when I lived in the California desert.
