Marin Food Specialties makes a fig bar. I would love to link you to their site but for some reason they do not have a direct site to reference. In fact I can’t find them anywhere which is concerning because I absolutely loved this product. I found them at my local Health Food store.
This is the only info I could find. If you have any other info please contact me so that I can link to them.

Anyway, they make this amazing fig bar.
Its hard to think of a food that don’t bring back memories so like most other foods; I recall my momma buying fig newtons on special occasions and we all sat around and enjoyed them. She had her coffee we had our milk. It was a treat for sure.
I have tried Pamela’s figgies and honestly I thought they were awful. they were dry, crumbly and there wasn’t just a regular fig bar, they were all these variations of flavors with fig. I just want a soft, delicate, fig only bar. When I found these I grabbed them right up and the put them to the test.
1. Taste………..Yup they were just plain fig cookies with a cake like crust and the closest darn thing to Fig Newtons I have ever tasted. They went down real smooth with a cup of coffee. First cookie I enjoyed with my eyes closed getting the full effect of that little fig cake that brought me back to childhood.
2. Holding up………I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to Pamela’s Figgies since perhaps I just got a stale bunch so as hard as it was I divided these New fig bars up and put some in the freezer and some in a bag in the pantry. two weeks later I went back to them. still soft, non crumbly, ultra delicious fig bars. The freezer batch after thawing on the counter were the same way. So I have determined these are the real deal fig bars and nothing will cross my lips for that old fig newton fix than these little cookies right here.
Do you miss Fig Newtons? Search no more (well unless you can’t find these in stores then you might have a hard time searching online) these fig bars will satisfy your craving.
