Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
Sweet figs filled with a chocolate-whiskey ganache and dipped in luscious dark chocolate.
Why we love it:
For a truly sensual treat this Valentine's Day, forgo the usual chocolate truffles and try these delectable drunken chocolate figs instead. Noted for their extremely thin skins and sweet, almost candy-like taste, Spanish figs are filled by hand with a silky dark 64% Valrhona ganache flavored with Whiskey and enrobed in a thin layer of dark 54% chocolate. The Calabacita variety of fig is grown by a family owned company in "Los Llanillos" in the village of Almoharin located in the Extremadura region of Spain.
