Hi there,
I'm not really sure but i think it's "Makrouth" it's a square sweet cookie let say and it's brown, inside of it there's a pasta of a sweet sticky brown fruit that grows on a tree called a date palm. So if the sweets you have, have inside date, then it's "Makrouth" and those sweets are especially made in Kairouan in Tunisia, for many years now Kairouan is known by those sweets...
Cheers
Makrem
