🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: milk chocolate

Stevia reduces sugar content while milk chocolate is often less expensive.

coconut oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place the dried figs on it.

Melt dark chocolate with a little vegetable oil in the microwave, heating for 15-20 seconds at a time, stirring in between until completely melted and pliable.

Melt white chocolate with a little vegetable oil in the microwave, using the same method as the dark chocolate until fully melted.

In a bowl, combine melted white chocolate with matcha green tea powder and a little vegetable oil, then microwave until melted, stirring until smooth.

Dip each dried fig first in dark chocolate, then in white chocolate, and finally in matcha chocolate, alternating between the chocolates until all figs are covered.

Use leftover melted chocolate in a piping bag or zipper bag to drizzle over the dipped figs for decoration.

Place the decorated figs in the refrigerator to firm up and cool before serving.
