Souvenirs from the edge

When we went to the candy shop with my friend who lives in Istanbul. We picked up the traditional Lokum (Turkish Delights) and he picked up a box of these.

So, of course, we bought some too.
It's a sesame-based cotton candy wrapped tightly and covered in chocolate.
 They're weird.  It's a confusing texture and strange flavor.  I can't quite explain it, but I'm addicted to them and I can't even decide if I actually like them. 

Think circus peanuts.
