Ah, figs. One of the most popular fruits in the world, and for good reason.Here are chocolate covered figs recipe that will help you make the perfect batch. They're versatile, easy to eat, and packed with nutrients. But there's one thing that can set figs apart from the rest: their chocolatey coating. Whether you're a fan of figs dipped in chocolate or just want to add a little extra sweetness to your diet, these dried fruits are a great choice.

These chocolate covered figs are sweet and juicy with that little bit of crunch from the seeds. Apparently I am not alone in this. According to the Vegetarian Society “This erotic, fleshy fruit is said to act as a powerful sexual stimulant. Originally from Syria, it is one of the oldest known plants. Ritual copulation followed the arrival of the new fig crop in Ancient Greece and it is said to have been Cleopatra’s favourite fruit. For the ancient Greeks the fig was one of the sacred foods associated with fertility and love”.
Again, the Veg Society proclaims that “Chocolate has been used to stoke the flames of passions all over the world. Chocolate contains chemicals thought to effect neurotransmitters in the brain”. Legend has it that its powers on the sexual appetite have led to a chocolate ban being imposed in some monasteries.The amazing thing is that this decadent delight is so easy to make that I can’t figure out why anyone would opt for a regular chocolate anything. Fresh figs + Melted Dark Chocolate + Coconut Oil and you end up with a plate full of purely passionate decadence.
Chocolate Covered Figs

INGREDIENTS
- 1 Dark Chocolate Bar, I recommend Greens & Blacks or Camino. Get the highest percentage of cocoa you can find.
- 1-2 Tbs Coconut Oil, cold pressed, unrefined.
- 8-10 fresh figs, washed and dried
- 1 hot lover of your choice (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- If you don’t have a double boiler, make one. You will need two pots, one bigger than the other and fill the larger of the two with water.
- Place large pot of water and turn oven on to a medium heat. Place smaller pot inside the larger one.
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to smaller pot and stir gently as it melts. This gets tricky. If it stays on the heat too long, it will get chunky. The same happens if water gets in. If that happens you’ll be forced to eat this batch of chocolate and start over. There are worse things.
- As soon as chocolate is melted and thoroughly mixed with coconut oil, holding the fig by its stem, start dipping!
- Place dipped figs on parchment lined plate.
- Once all the figs have been dipped, place in the freezer to set. Will take about 20 minutes and can then be stored in the fridge.
- Eat them fresh… but remember to put any extras back in the fridge before you get carried away by the magical effects.
