Finally I have found a fig recipe that I like! I have always considered it a tragedy that I have this beautiful and prolific fig tree in my front yard but I don't like figs. These were really excellent. I used half the filling because I have very small figs but used the full amount of chocolate. Like Geema I was out of Grand Marnier (Honestly I don't think I've ever bought it but now I need to!) so I used some of the juice from the orange. Very nice flavor. We will make these again to use up the huge amounts of figs, and just because it is so divine!
