- By Dana Coleman on Dec 10, 2022
I love everything from John & Kira's, but these figs are on a whole other level. Not only are they delicious, but the presentation is beautiful. They make a great elegant food gift for friends and family, but I always have to order extra for myself! ;) Runner-up is definitely the caramel bees. So so good!
Valentine's Delight
- By Nancy A Hibbs on Feb 26, 2020
As we had ordered from John & Kira's previously, and loved all the varieties. So come Valentine's Day - my sweetie ordered me the Chocolate Dipped Figs for a Valentine's Gift and I loved it. The figs and chocolate are so good - rich chocolate and delicious figs - my favorite Valentine's Gift. Thank you. P.S. If you place the figs in a zip lock baggy - they will last at least 2 weeks!
Positively Delicious Chocolate Covered Figs
- By Rebecca Heilman on Mar 8, 2019
These chocolate covered figs are absolutely delicious! I have bought them multiple times to give as gifts and just to eat at home as a special treat. Really, really delectable. A favorite in my house.
THE BEST
- By Jeanne M on Mar 6, 2019
These are the best adult treats ever! The dark chocolate is smooth and the whiskey flavor really comes through. I love buying these for my husband for special occasions. Highly recommended!!!!
These are AWESOME
- By MHI on Mar 6, 2019
I have sent these to clients for the last several years and they are BY FAR the favorite. I get more comments about the figs, they like the towers, they like the fruit squares but they LOVE the figs. Have taken to sending them when I can midyear just to remind people I am thinking of them...
And I always order a box for me too...
Owner Response: Thanks so much for the review - and THANK YOU for choosing us again and again as your go-to chocolatiers for client gifting! We really appreciate it (And we're not at all surprised that they love the figs the best!)
Extraordinary
- By Chindarat Charoenwongse on Mar 6, 2019
The fig chocolates are the best! Comparing to the Spanish ones, John and Kira's fig chocolates receive the top golden award the world over. The flavors are extraordinary because of the expertly profiled for the best blend of rich creamy and chocolatey yum. The blend of smooth and some fig seed crisp creates the best texture. There is no need to buy the Spanish ones across the Atlantic. One more plus is we can feel proud of being an American and support American made products.
Owner Response: We're glad you love our Figs! We actually still primarily source our Calabacita Figs from Spain in addition to our supplier in California. For so many of our items, we DO source our ingredients as close to home as possible - oftentimes in Pennsylvania, and even including urban gardens and farms right here in Philadelphia! And of course - chocolate is a global product by its nature, coming from many different regions across the world - and we use all Valrhona chocolate as the foundation for our products, so you can be assured that its quality -as well as the methods of its cultivation and export- are held to extremely high standards along every step of its journey to our Kitchen.
Yummy Figs
- By Gabrielle Babcock on Mar 6, 2019
I was given these as a gift-now it's me that gives them as gifts. I LOVE THEM!!! I'm also impressed with the packaging and care they take when shipping. Customer Service is wonderful also. I got a call on a Saturday to confirm a zip code. The nice lady said there were several zip codes coming up for the city, and she just wanted to make sure they got there without a delay.
Great company!!
Owner Response: Thank you so much for the compliment on our Customer Service and the care we take with shipping - everyone in the office is happy to hear it! And of course - we're glad you enjoy the chocolate!
My favorite
- By Cynthia on Mar 6, 2019
While I love all of J&K's products, figs are what I give to friends and family for birthdays, special occasions and congratulations. They are ALWAYS appreciated, and there is no one else making anything like them, so folks are grateful to have them. If you haven't tried them, you really should!
To die for.
- By Arleen on Mar 6, 2019
If you love dark chocolate & you love figs, there is no better combination than the Valrhona chocolate & the Spanish figs that make up this edible piece of heaven.
Gold standard for chocolate covered dried fruit!
- By Jennifer Ann Engelmann on Mar 6, 2019
These chocolate covered figs have pretty much ruined it for any other chocolatier selling chocolate covered dried fruit. Once you try one, you will discover that nothing else compares. They are literally my favorite mail order chocolate and worth every penny!!! You can taste everything...the figs, the fruity dark chocolate, and subtle notes of whiskey in the ganache which are perfectly balanced (and not overwhelming like some other alcohol infused chocolates). Simply. Perfect. Chocolates. Thanks John and Kira's!
Can I call it healthy and not feel guilty?
- By Geoffrey on Mar 6, 2019
Just tried these wonderful treats. Its not too sweet and the combination of sweet inside the fig is delicious.

Best ever
- By Jan on Feb 10, 2018
I bought these for my brother in law and he loves them! Says they are the best he's ever had. So now for special occasions this is what he receives!
Oh so delicious!
- By Jody Tatum on Jan 16, 2018
Bought these for the holidays & they were enjoyed by friends & family! Such a delicious combination of chocolate , ganache with a hint of whiskey & figs. Perfectly balanced. I'm planning to buy more soon for no good reason other than they are oh so good!
The Best!
- By Sanam Roder-DeWan on Dec 22, 2016
These are absolutely the best chocolates - consistency, taste, aesthetics, all of it! Being a swiss girl, it takes a lot for me to admit that any chocolate made outside of my proud little country is any good at all. 5 big big stars!
Heavenly Delicious
- By Diane on Mar 16, 2016
I stumbled across your site while doing my (typical) last minute online holiday shopping. When I read the description of your Fig Delicacy, I knew my husband & sister would probably like them, as they love figs. I wasn't sure if boxes of six would be enough but settled on boxes of 12 for each. I was impressed with how quickly my order arrived because I ordered Turtles for my mom, and stocking stuffers for kids & grandkids. Well, I had to give my husband his gift early. With his first bite, I knew this gift was perfect. After one fig, he ate another. He generously offered one to me! In one sitting, he ate six and I ate three. I am not a chocolate lover, but the combination of flavors were truly heavenly! I am glad I got the box of 12! Each gift was loved!
Owner Response: Thank you Diane! We appreciate your taking the time to share your story with us!
OMG!!! WOW!
- By Deborah on Dec 10, 2015
These were the best ever! They just make you so happy and that is how desserts should be.

Too good to share
- By Jordonna Fulop on Dec 4, 2014
From the presentation to the very last (sad) bite these figs are an experience to remember. The packing on all of the candies we have tried is impeccable. The figs are special as the aroma captivates you as soon as you open the box. The figs are tender and the ganache is heavenly. They are a duet of flavors in your mouth that will make you want an encore or two.
So, so good
- By Geoff McCool on Jun 19, 2012
If you like figs and you like chocolate, these are amazing and somehow the whole is better than the sum of the parts.
A Chocoholic Delight!
- By Reg Yaworski on Jan 15, 2012
Pure heaven; my favorite chocolate! A perfect gift for that Chocoholic loved-one in your life. Perfect gift packaging ensures the safety of each morsel.

Everything about these figs is impressive. Beautifully presented, these figs will please anyone who is a foodie. The are so unique and just plain DELICIOUS. You will be hard pressed to find a better gourmet treat.
ULTRA DECADENT!!!!
- By Sara Dorsey on Dec 14, 2010
These figs are divine! I gave these to my brother(who is a fig fanatic) 2 Christmas's ago and he is still talking about them. So, I am placing an order and will probably do so for many years to come.
