Chocolate Figs


 1 12 oz container Dried Figs
1/2 cup Brandy
8 oz Dark Chocolate

Using a tooth pick or a small skewer poke the figs all over.  Soak figs in Brandy for few hours or over night, covered.

Melt chocolate over double boiler.  Remove melted chocolate off the heat.  

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.  Dip each fig in melted chocolate and place on prepared baking sheet.  Once all done, place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until chocolate sets.

Makes about 25-30 figs.

*Adult only candy :)
 Last year Trader Joe's carried Chocolate Covered Figs.  I could not have enough of those delicious treats.  So I could not wait for this Christmas season to have them again.  Was very sad to find out that they were no longer available.  So decided to recreate it myself.

They turned out pretty good.  You could definitely taste Brandy, but in a very delicate way.

Would make an excellent holiday gift!!!
