These chocolate covered figs are as good as they get. We import tender, organic dried Calabacita figs from a small family farm in Spain then fill them ourselves with a silky smooth, whiskey infused blend of dark and milk chocolate ganache. They are then hand-dipped in 62% dark chocolate and carefully placed in their own gift box...finished with a letter-pressed card.
The press these figs have received would make any aspiring actor envious. They appeared, with John and Kira of course, on the Martha Stewart Show and have been featured not once but twice in Oprah's magazine. Wine Spectator loves them as well.
Read the reviews below to get a better idea of what others have to say, then treat yourself or send a friend an outrageously good gift. We promise that you (or your lucky friend) will not be disappointed.

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.

So, so good
By Geoff McCool
If you like figs and you like chocolate, these are amazing and somehow the whole is better than the sum of the parts.
Too good to share
By Jordonna Fulop
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.

Heavenly Delicious
By Diane
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!
The Best!
By Sanam Roder-DeWan
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!
Oh so delicious!
By Jody Tatum
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!

Gold standard for chocolate covered dried fruit!
By Jennifer Ann Engelmann
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!
To die for.
By Arleen
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.
My favorite
By Cynthia
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!
Yummy Figs
By Gabrielle Babcock
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!!
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!
Extraordinary
By Chindarat Charoenwongse
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.
These are AWESOME
By MHI
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...

Valentine's Delight
By Nancy A Hibbs
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!
The Best
By Dana Coleman
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!
