INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

With your hands, pull California dried figs gently into their original
shape, smoothing out wrinkles and perking up stems.  With a sharp,
small knife, slit the smoothest side of the figs.  Stuff them plump
and full with any of the following goodies:  half of mint or
wintergreen cream patties * half of chocolate covered  mint patties *
salted nuts * toasted walnut meats * marshmallow,  slit, with piece of
chocolate tucked into it * wedge of candied  ginger * ground nuts mixed
with honey * fondant * ground or chopped  salted peanuts mixed with
peanut butter * blanched almonds, dried  slowly in oven * candied
cherry * chunk of candied pineapple  Arrange these good-to-eat and
good-to-look-at figs on pretty tray.  Place candle into a stem-clipped
fig, which will serve happily as  candle stick. Conversation piece --
and pice de resistance!  Source: 48 Family Favorites with California
