Almond fig bonbons

Ingredients

• 200 g dried figs
• 100 g ground almonds
• 50 g honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 100 g dark melting chocolate

Step-by-step preparation

1. Soak the dried figs in hot water for about 10–15 minutes to soften. Drain and chop them finely.
2. In a bowl, mix the chopped figs, ground almonds, honey and cinnamon until even.
3. Roll the mixture into small balls with your hands and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of hot water on medium-low heat (a double boiler).
5. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and return it to the lined tray.
6. Refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes, until the chocolate sets.
7. Once set, store the bonbons in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
