Happy National Candy Day...which happens to fall smack dab in the middle of National Fig Week. Yes, I'm doing the Figgy Happy Dance...I loveworshipadore figs! :)
Halloween candy is a bucketful of chocolate fun but all those candy bars can equal cocoa overload.
Figs are a welcome break from all that packaged snack...they're nature's delicious answer to candy! Figs are just as sweet as any confection but a whole lot healthier...full of calcium and potassium and fiber. They are available
fresh from late Spring through Fall and
dried all year round. They're snackable straight up, or you can add them to all sorts of things for a sweet chewy zing! :)
These recipes use
dried figs so you can enjoy them in any season...yay!

If you still need a candified fix, try
Chocolate-Dipped Figs with Almonds or
Fig Lollipops!
Are you a fig fan? If you had to choose a bowlful to snack on, would they be fresh or dried? Have you ever made vegan fig newtons? What makes you do a
Happy Dance?
