Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried figs
• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Figs and Almonds

Start by roughly chopping the dried figs and almonds. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife for this step. Make sure the pieces are small enough to easily mix into the bars.

2. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

3. Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped figs, almonds, melted chocolate, and sea salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly coated with chocolate.

4. Press into a Pan

Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or your hands. Make sure the mixture is evenly spread and tightly packed.

5. Chill in the Refrigerator

Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set. This will allow the chocolate to harden and hold the bars together.

6. Cut into Bars

Once the bars are fully chilled, remove them from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Place the bars on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into desired bar sizes. You can make them bite-sized or larger, depending on your preference.

7. Dip in Chocolate (Optional)

If you want to take these bars to the next level, you can dip them in additional melted chocolate. Simply melt some more dark chocolate chips and dip each bar halfway into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped bars on a parchment-lined tray and let them cool until the chocolate hardens.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Once the bars are ready, serve them on a platter or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. These Chocolate Dipped Fig and Almond Bars make a perfect treat for parties, gatherings, or simply as a sweet indulgence for yourself.

With their combination of sweet figs, crunchy almonds, and rich chocolate, these bars are a true delight for the taste buds. Give this recipe a try and experience the wonderful flavors for yourself!
