Ready to get started? Here’s your step-by-step guide to making these delicious chocolate figs.
Step 1.
Remove the hard stems from each dried fig and use a knife to make a small slit on the side of the fig. Fill each fig with a small spoonful of mixed dried peel.
Step 2.
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe or heatproof bowl. Melt it in the microwave slowly in intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over simmering water, stirring occasionally.
Spear each fig with a toothpick and dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely.
Place the chocolate-coated figs on a sheet of baking paper and let them set for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Once set, gently remove the toothpicks from the figs and serve.
