Ah - found it:

Now you know the WHERE, you just have to figure out the HOW.
(I'm sure there are other Hannaford stores besides this one in Maine, you just have to look.)

I have a couple of Hannaford stores in my 5 mile radius. I will look for you and maybe use the purchase as a postal shop
or two 
PM me if this is feasible. Will check 2 stores today while out shopping. Always willing to help out a fellow shopper

Wow, sojo917! That would be sooooo nice of you! I also sent you a PM . I can't thank you enough for willing to check that for me and possibly (gasp!) mail it to me .

None of those is the squares variety 
I think that bgriffin will unfortunately turn out to be right: they probably don't make this product anymore.

Well, if you break it up it's squares. 
So sorry it wasn't what you were looking for. Maybe Hannaford just doesn't make it any more.

Hahahaha! Yeah, I know how silly I must sound to want the squares and the squares only, but there's a reason behind it: That particular kind is very high in iron. One square will give you 140%. So, i'd have an excuse to eat it every day. And I really want to try to avoid having to take iron pills...Makes sense? And yeah, I do love chocolate!

I went to HFD. I see the TOI choc brand you are looking for but according to the package it is only 44% Fe(Iron). I am assuming that is the whole bar and not each indivdual squares. But the squares is 7 0z. Although you are saying that the TOI candy you purchased was 140% Fe per square, which I see as suspicious, because that would make the 7 oz package would have more Fe in it than an Iron that press clothes.. Although you were only eating a square a day.
You would be better off taking the Fe supplement. RDA for Fe is roughly 325mg a day. You can purchase Fe tablets at a health for store, it does not have to be purchase by prescription. The supplement cost about the same as the candy bar. If you have a Vitamin World in your city, that is a good place to start.
Perhaps the 140% may have been disallowed or discontinued b/c it had too much Fe in it. Thereby causing an Fe toxicity in some people
If you want the TOI ABC bar, I will surely send them too you.

sojo917, you're really nice for checking that out for me! Thank you! If there is anything I can do to return the favor, let me know!
We have the TOI Authentic Belgian Extra Dark Chocolate at Food Lion, so my husband already got me some. As far as the squares are concerned, I think that you're right when you say that they might have discontinued them because of their high Fe content. I don't think many people read the labels, so with that particular chocolate it was definitely easy to overdose. I actually looked for the nutritional info just to make sure I didn't imagine the squares having about 140% iron: [www.fatsecret.com].
The RDA for iron is actually anywhere from 7-27 mg a day (depending on age and gender), so I'm not sure where you got the 325 mg value? I hope I'm using the correct source for the RDA values I have!

I see from the pharmacy when they send Fe pill to the patients it is usually the 325 mg. I see why you would eat a square a day. Even the Fe supplement that is 28mgs is only 158 % Fe. But the toxic dose would be eating the whole bar or more in a day.
Your dark choc bar was an "iron bar covered in chocolate"
