Tips:

- If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but they will need to be soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes before using.
- Use a good quality creme de cacao for the best flavor. Look for a creme de cacao that is made with real chocolate and not just cocoa powder.
- If you don't have creme de cacao, you can use another chocolate liqueur, such as chocolate vodka or chocolate rum.
- Serve the figs immediately after dipping them in the creme de cacao, while they are still cold and the chocolate is still melted.
