Possibly, maybe the new European bakery in Chillicothe. I cant remember the name of it but we had some of their things before they opened their store their. They have lots of European recipes. If they dont have it they probably know who in the Peoria area has it.

We make it every year. My mom just called it nut roll. This recipe is very similar to ours:

We make the 4 individual rolls and bake them side by side on a jelly roll pan, not altogether this this picture.

Every year in May there is an open house at all the embassies of countries that are in the EU. Most of them have samples of food. The last couple of years there have been varities of breads and pastries at the Embassy of Croatia. They are always outstanding! However, I cant remember if this exact bread as one or not.
 
Between Embassy of Croatia, Finland, Italy and France you can eat quite, quite well.

The people who used to have the bakery in Manito used to make it. I understand they are starting back up again. I can probably get a contact number if you'd like.

As billybob said, the new bakery in Chillicothe may make it. The place is called The Cookie Jar European Bakery and their phone number is (309) 270-4046.
