Out of all the things to stuff in a fig, I sometimes forget that a simple nut can suffice. I love these bites because they’re like portable trail-mix. Cut a little sliver into a dried fig and stuff a toasted walnut it. They make for a nice bite-sized, totally portable and a vegan/healthy/gluten-free way snack. I may just sneak a chocolate chip in there or maybe some goat cheese…I dunno.
Ohhhh, yummy. I’ve never thought to blog something like this… Simple party treats are wonderful.
I love your snack posts! I was in Portugal last year and they stuck almonds all around the outside of the fig to make it look like a sun. It made a simple snack more fun to eat! This reminds me of that, so I will have to try with walnuts now.
such clever and grown up snack ideas! this is what snacks should look like. I super loved the dates and peanut butter idea, in fact I need to go pick up some more dates because i scarfed through my last batch

I made something similar for a tapas party last weekend. Dates stuffed with manchego cheese and walnut – warmed in the oven for ~5 min. Absolutely devine!

Add a small disc of Droste dark chocolate to that and I’m in! For savory thin slice of proscuitto.

Yum! Great idea.

Can’t wait to try the goat cheese idea!
