Ingredients

14 ounces dried black mission figs
2 Tablespoons almond butter
2 Tablespoons water
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt

Instructions

In a food processor, combine figs, almond butter, and water. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.
Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture into your hands and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet or cutting board lined with parchment/wax paper or a silicon baking mat.
Melt chocolate over low heat in a small saucepan or microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals (stirring between each).
Using a fork, dip fig bites in melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then place back on a lined baking sheet or cutting board.
Sprinkle chocolate-covered fig bites with flaky sea salt. Place in refrigerator until chocolate is set (~30 minutes). Transfer to an airtight container, then store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

Notes

If the figs are too hard to blend, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain, then add to the blender. If using this method, leave out the extra water in the recipe.
