Ingredients

1 ounce whole almonds

1¼ pound dried figs

Ground cloves

Orange zest

Cinnamon

4 ounces dark chocolate

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast the almonds in the oven just until they begin to brown and smell fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  3. Cut the dried figs open and put an almond in the middle. Sprinkle with cloves and orange zest. Press the figs closed with your fingers.
  4. Arrange the figs on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the figs rest until they are cool enough to handle.
  5. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stovetop. Add a pinch of cinnamon and stir.
  6. Dip the bottoms of the baked figs in melted chocolate. Place the dipped figs onto parchment paper to allow the chocolate to cool.

I only had dates in my pantry, so I replaced the figs with them. It turned out delicious! The almond in the middle and the cinnamon chocolate dipping makes it taste just like a candy bar!
