Oh, Jubes, these are divine! I couldn't find any fresh figs, so I used some nice sun-dried ones that I had, but I'll most certainly be making these again when I can locate some fresh ones. The caramel sauce is perfect with these! Definitely a keeper, thanks for posting! Made for The Hot Pink Panthers for ZWT9

Made these just to see how they'd turn out & how they'd taste, & we weren't in the least disappointed ~ GREAT TASTING buggers, these, & well worth making again! Would like to make a much larger batch of them sometime when I host a group & serve them on picks with the caramel sauce for dipping! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
