1. Melt some dark cooking chocolate.

2. Finely chop macadamia nuts and place them in a bowl.

3. Dip small whole figs into the melted chocolate and then roll the fig into the chopped nuts.

4. Set on a cake rack to cool and harden.

Other nuts such as pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts could be used, just make sure they are peeled and finely chopped.
