There are so many new holiday products in Trader Joe’s right now, that we feel a bit like a kid in …. well a candy shop! But I guess that is how I feel when I shop at Trader Joe’s on many occasions as there are so many wonderful products to choose from.  Today we wanted to tell you about this product as you might easily pass it up:

9 Rabitos Royal~ Chocolate Truffle Filled Figs!

We usually enjoy figs during the holidays ~ either fresh in a sauce or as an appetizer but certainly dried figs also make there way under the tree for some tasty gift-giving too.  So when we saw this package we instantly thought we are going to try these and see if they will make a nice gift.

The short answer is YES!!

These are absolutely delish! And a great mixture of flavors. First a nice-sized fig is stuffed with a smooth chocolaty truffle center (with a hint of brandy I might add) Then the whole truffle is covered in a thin layer of chocolate which melts in your mouth~ as well as on your fingers ~ YUM!

I tried to cut one in half for a photo… but Yikes~ the fig protested ~ and became utterly un-photogenic fast! So our advice is to pop the whole fig in your mouth and just savor all the flavors as they appear.

Another cool thing? Each fig is individually wrapped for freshness and that  might make it easier to take a fig or two for a gourmet lunch box treat… OK that is my plan….. You could always add them to a cookie assortment too…

Have you tried these 9 Rabitos Royale ~ Chocolate Truffle Filled Figs yet?? What did you think??
