Fresh figs dipped in chocolate and hazelnut make for a wonderfully sweet and nutty treat.

200g good-quality 70% dark chocolate, broken into pieces
2/3 cup (220g) good-quality chocolate hazelnut spread (see Notes)
1 cup (150g) toasted hazelnuts, chopped
About 18 small fresh figs

Method

1.

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water), stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in hazelnut spread until combined.
2.

Spread nuts on a plate. Dip each fig into the chocolate to coat two-thirds of the way up. Roll in hazelnuts.
3.

Place on a baking-paper lined tray and chill for 30 minutes or until set, then serve.
