Dear Turkey,
As you know, the first thing that my husband asked for when he went off his diet was biscotti. This is the second thing. He lovingly named them "Chocolate Figgy Death Bombs" the first time that I made them. I had to remember what they were really called in order to find the original recipe from Runners World (I made some changes, like more honey; guess who asked for that?).
Chocolate Figgy Death Bombs look like brownies and are just as satisfying. I promise. Runners World didn't pay me to say that (but if they offered, I would say anything they wanted).

In the microwave, melt:
5 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/3c water
3/4c delicious buckwheat honey (or whatever you have)
3 pinches cinnamon
1 generous pinch salt
Meanwhile, in the food processor, process until pretty smooth:
14oz dried figs, stems removed
14oz almonds
1t orange zest
Add the chocolate mixture to the food processor and process until combined, adding water slowly if necessary. Spread/smoosh into a brownie pan and chill until slice-able (may take a couple of hours) [this step is optional, you can just gorge on them right away like I did].

What you need to do is put up a Paypal link on your blog. People could send you money for all kinds of things. (In my head, I would send you money for postage so you could send me some of these Chocolate Figgy Death Bombs, but I'm sure people would send money for all kinds of things). :)
ReplyDeleteFB showed me another "memory" today. I posted this recipe on 08FEB2013 with the caption, "I'm going to the store for these ingredients to make trays and trays of these things for the Snowpocalypse." :)
