Fig season is coming up! So while I wait for the fresh ones, I must enjoy the dried. And no better way than mixing them up with walnuts and cocoa powder.
These little fig bites are nature’s candy.
They are great as a little pick me up or pre-workout snack. Just another way to enjoy those fruit and nuts together.

If you like these, try some variations of fruits and nuts like dried dates, cranberries or blueberries, and almonds, pecans and cashews.
WoW!!! These sound really good. I’ll try it and let you know.
These were very tasty and even Dad liked them.
I’m so glad! I knew Dad would like them. They’re so sweet!
