Chocolate, Hazelnut and Fig Squares

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


My friend, Mary from Aberdeen gave me a big packet of organic sun-dried figs recently, and they are lusciously sweet and delicious.  They are not only excellent for snacking but for cooking too.  As I can’t finish the dried figs quickly, I combined some of them with chocolate, hazelnuts and digestive biscuits. This is a fuss free nutty chocolate recipe, ready within 15 mins. A perfect combination of  flavours and a rich texture, best served with a cup of hot coffee or vanilla  ice cream. Just melt the butter and chocolate together, and throw in all the remaining ingredients, stir well, place the chocolate mixture in the refrigerator and you’re done!

Notes
This chocolate square is not very sweet as I used good quality chocolate, Belcolade 71%, but you can use valrhona chocolate 66% for a sweeter taste, or even semi-sweet chocolate if you’ve have a sweet tooth.
