These are easy and especially tasty with the combination of chocolate, marshmallow and nuts. If you can't find large figs, use small pieces of walnuts instead of whole walnuts.
Chocolate-Dipped Stuffed California Figs
20 large dried California figs
20 miniature marshmallows
20 walnut or pecan halves or pieces
1/2 cup semisweet or white chocolate pieces
Cut a slit in the side of each fig and stuff with a marshmallow and a nut.
Melt the chocolate in the top part of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth and satiny. Remove from heat. Holding by stem, dip figs halfway into chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip. Place figs on wax paper until the chocolate sets.
Store in airtight container, separating layers with wax paper.
Makes 20 pieces.
