Cheese-Stuffed Figs Dipped In Chocolate

1. 1

   Rinse the figs and wipe them dry. Cut a short gash in one side of a fig near the bottom. Stuff with about 1/2 teaspoon of cheese. Smooth over the cheese so the fig remains shapely. Stuff the remaining figs and chill them for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Put the chocolate in a small stainless bowl set in a wide skillet of almost simmering water; stir frequently until most of the chocolate is melted.

3. 3

   Remove the bowl from the water and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.

4. 4

   Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Make sure the figs are dry. Dip a fig into the chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip into the bowl.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the dipped fig with toasted nuts and set on the lined sheet. Dip the remaining figs. Refrigerate the figs until serving.
