Start by making homemade chocolate using cacao butter, chocolate chips, coconut oil, and maple syrup.

Measure out 1/4 cup of cacao butter and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.

Melt the cacao butter in the microwave, checking every 30 seconds until fully melted.

Add chocolate chips to the melted cacao butter and stir until combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture and whisk until smooth.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Take the dried figs and dip each one into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Lift each coated fig and let any excess chocolate drip off before placing them on the parchment paper.

Once all figs are coated, allow them to set on the parchment paper until the chocolate hardens.
