Instructions

Preparation of Figs:

  • Start by washing the 12 fresh figs under cool water.

  • Carefully pat dry each fig using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, ensuring all moisture is removed.

Melting the Chocolate:

  • Break the vegan chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

Melt the chocolate:

  • Using a Broil: Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted.

  • Using a Microwave: Heat the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

  • Once the chocolate is soft and fully melted, mix in a full dropper of Kannabu Hemp Extract, ensuring it's well incorporated.

Dipping the Figs:

  • Hold each fig by the stem and swirl it into the melted chocolate, ensuring most of the fig is coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

Garnishing:

  • While the chocolate is still wet on the fig, sprinkle a generous amount of Kannabu Hemp Hearts over each fig, ensuring they stick to the chocolate.

Setting:

  • Place the chocolate-coated figs on a parchment-lined tray or plate.

  • Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.

Serving:

  • Once set, serve and enjoy your delightful Hemp Chocolate-Dipped Figs!

Enjoy this delightful treat that perfectly blends sweetness and crunch. 😊👌

Hemp Chocolate Drizzle: Once you've dipped the figs and they're set, you can prepare a lighter hemp chocolate mix (using a lesser quantity of chocolate, more hemp extract, and a touch of coconut oil for a runnier consistency). Drizzle this over the figs for an added layer of hemp goodness and a visually appealing treat.

Coconut Flakes Topping: In addition to the hemp hearts, sprinkle some coconut flakes on the still-wet chocolate. The mild sweetness and tropical flavor of the coconut, combined with the nuttiness of hemp hearts, create a delightful texture and taste combination. Plus, it gives an elegant look to your fig treats.

Brandon Dziedzic
It was at an early age that Brandon Dziedzic, a graphic designer based in Denver, CO, was introduced to the wonderful world of design. Regardless of being a nuisance to his mother, it was their frequent weekend trips to local antique shops that intrigued Brandon. Every paper, piece of fabric, and piece of furniture had to be touched. He couldn't get enough of the different textures and designs that spread across the store floors. His desire and addiction to tactile objects quickly became his passion. It was this curiosity that shaped Brandon's decision to pursue his career. Choosing to attend a selective Graphic Communications program at his local technical high school, Brandon began to submerge himself in every aspect the program had to offer. Package design, ad design, photo manipulation, and printing on print presses helped shape his decision to major in Graphic Design and become a unique Graphic Designer. After searching numerous colleges Brandon finally decided to continue his education at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. Not only did the beautiful weather and beaches entice him the Graphic and Interactive Communications department Ringling offered was one of the best he had seen. Throughout his four years he learned the complete circle of design, layout, typography, structure, and balance which quickly granted him many opportunities during his undergraduate years. After graduation and the excitement of living in the sunshine state had dwindled, Brandon decided to take a chance and move to New York City, the city of opportunity. With $300 in his pocket, all of his possessions packed in to an oversized 16’ moving truck, Brandon made his way to the big apple. After a grueling job search that seemed to last forever, yet lasted only a few months, Brandon quickly landed a Junior Design position for an educational software company called Wireless Generation. Here, his already abundant knowledge base of print design, book layout, typography, and branding design grew to include app design and user interface. It was from this experience Brandon began to develop a client base and pursue design opportunities all over New York City and beyond. Brandon currently holds a Graphic Designer position with The Integer Group in Denver, CO. In his free time Brandon loves searching for new design ideas, exploring the great city of New York, crafting, traveling, volunteering, spending time with his husband Kevin and cat Kay, and as always, searching for new freelance opportunities to enhance his designer mind.
