Tips
- For an added touch of sophistication, you can toast the walnuts for 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before chopping and mixing with the honey. This enhances their nutty flavor.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the figs may become softer.
