  3. Amy, don't despair! After ~15 hours, hundreds of addresses checked, and ~20 eMails sent out, I
    believe the last one sent out will
    lead us to Handi Foods Ltd. and their outstanding product: Pita Puffs. I'll get back to you via
    this site. delabate

  9. amy, I left off another contact I
    made by eMail on Jan 7th:

    o Gigi Deelstra
    Kidssentials
    Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
    info@kidssentials.com
    905-855-9942

    Gigi offered to "jump thru hoops",
    including working w/customs to get
    Pita Puffs for me. She even gave me
    her home phone #.
    I have sent her a letter of thanks,
    but have chosen to get P.P.s from
    the NH source I mentioned above.
    Steve, thanks for your info (which
    I got after I made the above three
    contacts). I will keep it to back
    up the info I have. Thanks to all, and I hope you have a happy, healthy New Year. delabate

  12. Hi! I found the Handi Foods Baked Pita chips at Meijer in Indianapolis, IN. I didn't see any puffs, though. I bought the garlic and chives flavor and they are great.

  14. These illusive pita puffs can be found at Food Basics stores across Toronto. Not at ALL locations though. And may or may not carry all flavours.
    Enjoy!

  18. I don't think you read that source all that well as their legal troubles were dated 1993! That's 16 years ago!
