Prep time 15min
Cost $8- $10

Ingredients
10 dried figs (soft eating variety)
1⁄3 cup almond butter
¼ cup dark chocolate
¼ cup coconut threads

Method
Using a small sharp knife, make slits in the sides of the figs and push a teaspoon into them to open up a space inside. Melt chocolate in a small bowl and set aside.

Stuff the figs with about a ½-1tsp of the almond butter, then dip the opened part of the fig in the melted chocolate. Sprinkle the chocolate with coconut threads and place on a lined tray. Repeat until all the figs are done. Transfer to freezer for 5min to set. Store in an airtight container.
