Another variant of goodies is sweets made from dried figs. The recipe is not complicated, and you can have them ready in a few minutes!

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole, shelled hazelnuts
• 1 cup whole almonds
• ⅔ cup flour
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 and ¼ teaspoons finely grated orange peel (make sure the orange doesn’t have any sprinkles on it)
• 2 teaspoons fennel seeds (lightly crushed)
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1 1/2 cup of dried figs
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup honey

Method

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and almonds and set aside.
• Grease the pan with butter and sprinkle it with flour. Also, set aside.
• Mix the flour, cocoa powder, orange peel, fennel seeds, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl until well combined.
• Add the nuts and figs to the mixture. Mix again.
• Combine sugar and honey in a small saucepan and place over low heat. Increase the heat to medium and cook, without stirring, for about 6 minutes.
• After this time, quickly pour the nut mixture into the pot and stir quickly. You will get a very thick mixture.
• Transfer the mixture from the pot to the pan and place it in the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes.
• After baking, remove the mixture and let it cool for at least 1 hour. Then, remove it from the pan and cut it into horizontal sticks with a thickness of 2 cm.
• You should get about 36 fig sticks using this recipe.
