Steps:
- 1 Line a tray with wax paper and set a wire cooling rack on top. Make a small slit in the base of each fig. Insert an almond and a piece of orange peel into the figs. Pinch the slit closed. 2 In the top half of a double boiler set over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Let stand 5 minutes. 3 Dip each fig in the melted chocolate and place on the wire rack. When all of the figs have been dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, about 1 hour. 4 Place the figs in an airtight container, separating each layer with wax paper. Store in the refrigerator up to 30 days. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, plump figs for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut through the figs.
- Dip the figs in the chocolate completely, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them on the parchment paper.
- If you want to add toppings, such as chopped nuts or sprinkles, do so immediately after dipping the figs in the chocolate, while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the dipped figs in a single layer on the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store the dipped figs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
