Product Description
From a small village in Extremadura comes this incredible hand made confection. Tender young figs are stuffed with a blend of dark chocolate and brandy liqueur; then they are hand-dipped in even more rich dark chocolate! The wonderfully creamy, rich chocolate is nicely accented by the delicate flavor of the fig.

 Delicious but watch out for the brandy! April 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a delicious, decadent, moist whole fig, complete with stem, delicately filled with a soft chocolate truffle type center then enrobed in chocolate with brandy. They are not wrapped as shown, yet foil-sealed on both ends like a miniature candy bar which was not as elegant in presentation, but did not detract from the item.
Although decadent and clearly hand-made, I believe the use of brandy overpowered this otherwise luscious sweet. The brandy flavor is overwhelming and drowned the superior chocolate, rich center, and delicate fig. The taste reeked far too much of alcohol. If you are a brandy lover, then you will love this. If you do not savor spirits mixed with your chocolate treats, beware.
If they ever decide to make a non-brandy version of this, I must say it would easily be amongst the elite of gourmet bonbons.
Regardless of my personal taste against spirit imbued desserts, this product is well accomplished, truly unique, artisinal and abosolutely worth trying.
Note that La Tienda is an excellent company as I have bought from them before, never with a problem and always with a superior product.
 these are yummy! September 8, 2007
I don't know if they are totally worth the high price but I will say they are very yummy. They are smaller than I expected but that turned out to be a good thing as you can fit a whole one in your mouth and then let the enjoyable chocolate filling ooze out.
