Where have all the fudge sandwich cookies gone? Part 2

As we last left him, our hero was desperately trying to re-create that fudge cookie madness of his childhood. OK, been watching old cartoons a bit while doing all of this cocoa-based reminiscing, but I digress. I thought I should give a quick update on my last entry on this subject. At Amy and Alec's urging, I tried the Dare Ultimate Fudge Cookies that they had recommended to me from the last post. They were, much to my pleasure (and horror because I CANT STOP EATING THEM), every bit as good as the old Burry Fudgetowns.

Then I had the kids try the new Oreo Fudgees that one of the commenters had recommended last time. They deemed them better than the all-chocolate Oreo, but not as good as the Dares. One plus though: A great shape for the dunkers of the cookie world. (C'mon folks, stand up and be recognized. We know you're out there. Do not be ashamed of your milky-finger habits)

Elsewhere on the fudge cookie front, we have not yet had an all-chocolate EL Fudge sighting since our one commenter claimed to have bought a package. No word from them either. Maybe they were older than we thought? Get well soon fellow cookie addict!

About 3 years ago, my mother moved to North Carolina and much to her dismay, she was unable to find her "beloved" cookies. She thought it must have been a regional thing. On a trip home to Chicago, she and I searched the shelves high and low but to no avail. We've tried other fudge cookies but nothing came close.
The other day, I "googled" Keebler fudge sandwich cookies and ran across this blog. I decided to try some of the cookies recommended. The fudge Oreos, which were the only ones I could find in North Carolina, did not compare. I wanted to try Fudgee-Os but to ship them would have cost a whopping $35!!! Alas, I was able to track down the Dare fudge cookies at our local Harris Teeter grocery store. All I can say is WOW!!! These are even better than Keebler's because they have double the fudge in the center.
Thanks fudge sandwich cookie lover!!!

Can anyone tell me the name of and refer me to a picture of the box of a chocolate fudge sandwich cookie from the 1970's that came in a dark brown rectangular box that had a cowboy with a lasso on it. The top cookie had scalloped edges (like a flower) with a tiny hole in the middle where the fudge cream filling popped through. Help!
