Yum - my mother in law has three giant strawberry fig trees and they are producing like mad, I wonder if there are any left ... we picked last week (brandied fig sauce anyone?). These sound great and also a healthier option to, say, fudge :-)

You could go crazy and drizzle some fudge on top? Hmm, we might be on to something here :) :)

These look so good but . . . an entire teaspoon of nutmeg? Is that right? Thanks. ;o)
