These are oh-so-ridiculously-good. We have a fig tree in our backyard (bless the previous owner) and I know there are plenty of great recipes to use figs for by my husband and I talk about chocolate covered figs ALL YEAR as we eagerly wait for each year's crop. This recipe is crazy easy and gets loads of "Oh dear God"s whenever we share them. <br/><br/>Try it for your next girls night. You might not even need wine. They're really THAT good.
