My greatgrandmother use to make this every Chreistmas. It was a made from dates and sugar and orther items. The dates were ground up and mmixed with other items then rolled into logs. They were then rolled into walnuts that were finely chopped. I am 57 and my great grand mother if alive today would be arounf 130 years old. It was believed to be an old family reciepe. Or who knows. Thanks for the help. MaryLynn
