Figgy Puffs + Giveaway!


There comes a time during the year when you need to make something delicious, decadent, and beautiful. Sometimes asking for it to be easy to make is too much to ask. But then I experimented in the kitchen and came up with the perfect Hors d'oeuvre for your holiday parties!


These little bites of deliciousness has something to please for everyone. Valley Fig Spread is the muse for this dish. Valley Fig Spreads come in 4 different flavors and each has a story to tell.


Organic Mission Fig : The fig flavor in this one is extremely profound. It's a great spread to top off some toast, parfait, or paired with cheese.

California Orange : This spread still has the amazing fig flavor, but you will find a tangy surprise. This spread is perfect to make a salad dressing to top a summer salad.

Port Wine : My absolute favorite of all the flavors. The port flavor is elegantly shown in this spread. This spread is perfect for an after dinner treat paired with soft cheese and fresh baked bread.

Balsamic Pepper : A perfect spread to spruce up a simple salad dressing. Think warm a walnuts on top.

Of course any of these spreads go great on some toast. I paired mine with some fresh homemade french bread. Yum!

2 boxes Pastry shells
Port Wine Valley Fig Spread
Balsamic Pepper Valley Fig Spread
Boursin Cheese Garlic and Herb
Goat cheese
Mini chocolate chips

2. Cook pastry puffs according to package.
3. When pastries are done, allow to cool for a few minutes. The round circle with the cheese should have dipped below the outer edges. Top with Port Wine fig spread, then garnish with pieces of dates, cranberries, and figs.
4. With the second box, place chunks of Goat cheese around the inside of the circle. Repeat with the entire box.
5. Bake pastries according to package.
