The Case of the Mysterious Date Bars
I've been curious about these for a very long time...I just had my first one today, of the whole-wheat variety, and it was pretty tasty. But I totally thought it was stuffed with figs, rather than dates.

I eat these things nearly every work day. Why did you wait so long to try them? They're awesome! I must admit though I thought they were from some ethnic bakery somewhere. No idea where they came from until reading your blog. Thanks!

Inspiration
Inspiration for our products started years ago while traveling and working overseas. Date cakes similar to (Maamoul) were served with coffee on Saudia Airlines. These small round cakes in a pastry shell were filled with fresh “date fruit” grown on desert oases throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Date cakes were made by Marriott Catering Corporation under contract for Saudia Airlines to serve to their guests as a sign of traditional hospitality. The pastry was naturally delicious and difficult to forget. Our idea was create a comparable product, manufacture it from fresh California dates, and present to the American Community for your enjoyment.

The Case of the Mysterious Date Bars
I just ran across this site and thought someone could help me. We are originally from Detroit MI and grew up with Awrey Bakery goods. We now live in CA and have a small store, a nut shop, in Temecula CA. We carry some MI products, among them , the Awrey Date Nut bar. It sells really well and we were actually buying it from their outlet store in Livonia MI. Since it's a product that is fairly popular, awrey, in its infinite wisdom, now refuses to ship out. It can only be bought through the big distributors and they won't bother with a small mom and pop store. If anybody knows where I can purchase these bars, please let me know.

I have been eating these cookies for years and have always wondered where did they come from. Today I bought a pack fo the figs and the thought came to my mine to go on the internet and find out. Now the mystery is over. I thought the Koreans made and controlled them. They are the only ones that I know who sell them. Thanks for the research
