What could be better than ripe figs dipped in dark chocolate and topped with Himalayan salt? These dark chocolate figs are delicious.
Fig season is one of my favorite times of year - it typically runs from August to October. You've got to get your hands on some to enjoy this simple and easy treat!
Ripe figs have a wonderfully sweet, fruity, and floral flavor that pairs perfectly with a slightly bitter dark chocolate. Top this with a pinch of sea salt, and you will have a surprisingly complex flavor profile in a simple dessert.
This recipe is easy to make in just a few minutes. It does take some time for the chocolate to set, but make them in advance of a party or dinner, and you'll have a delicious treat to enjoy.
Ingredients You'll Need
For this recipe, you'll need 10 ripe figs, ½ cup of dark chocolate chunks or chips, and a ½ teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt or another flaky sea salt.
When choosing good figs, look for ones that are soft but not mushy. They should have a firm stem and be without bruises.

Storing Tips - You can store these figs for up to three days in the refrigerator, but they are best fresh.
