My new addiction is adding figs in my meals.  Figs are loaded with Potassium and fiber as well as being a decadent sweet fruit that you thoroughly enjoy eating.  Potassium a mineral that helps to control blood pressure and muscle recovery after a hard workout.

These little chocolate fig bites are perfect to enjoy when you need you are having your sweet cravings.  You don’t have to feel guilty about eating them as they are gluten-free, dairy free, soy free and paleo.  I also enjoy putting them in my smoothie for the added nutrition and flavor.

I did find that keeping them in the refrigerator helped to keep them firm and they will last much longer.  Not that they will be around long, mind only lasted a few days.  Every time I opened the refrigerator a few more were missing.

  • 2 tablespoon creamy unsalted almond butter
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, I used enjoy life brand
  • 2 teaspoon coconut oil

  5. Place the fig balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium bowl.

  8. Using a toothpick, dip the fig balls in the melted chocolate to coat evenly, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  9. Return the fig bites to the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt, if using.
  10. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate has set.

    I heart figs in savory dishes, and now I’m loving the thought of them dipped in chocolate too!

    The recipe calls for coconut oil but it isn’t mentioned in the preparation… When is it added?
