Greetings Figs & Chocolate Lovers!

Fresh figs are in season and dipped in dark chocolate, they’ll make delectable treats and a decadent summer dessert! Perfect by themselves, but even better with a glass of dessert wine.

And, if you love fresh figs and dark chocolate as much as I do, you'll love making and enjoying these beautiful and decadent Chocolate Covered Figs! They are fun to make and delectable to devour. So, let's get started with the recipe. 

Ingredients:

3-5 Ounce organic dark chocolate bar (70% dark is best)
12 Small-medium size fresh figs (green, purple or a mix of both)
1/2 Tsp. Orange zest
1/4 Tsp. Sea salt flakes
1/4 Cup chopped roasted pistachios (love pistachios b/c of their beautiful green color, which beautifully complements fig’s purple color and dark chocolate).
1/2 Tsp. Organic lavender flowers
1/2 Tsp. Organic rose petals
1/2 Tsp. Organic calendula flowers
1/2 Tsp. Orange or Meyer lemon rinds

Chocolate Melting Instructions: Break or chop the chocolate bar into small pieces and melt over a water bath or in a saucepan over very low heat. Alternatively, you can put them in a bowl, microwave on high for 30 seconds; stir, microwave again on for additional 30 second and stir again until chocolate is completely melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool for 1-2 minutes, add the orange zest and stir 2-3 times gently. 

Chocolate Covered Figs Instructions: Hold each fig by the stem, dip each fig in melted chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can also cut a few figs in half and dip into melted chocolate to create a varieties of chocolate covered figs, they’ll make your artisanal creation even more beautiful. Next, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, lavender flowers, calendula flowers or rose petals and then 2-3 sea salt flakes.

Cooling & Packaging Instruction: Place the figs in the fridge for 1-2 hours to allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely before serving or packaging as gifts.

Enjoy and have fun making Figs Chocolate Arts!
