["Either in a double boiler or a small fondue pot, add the ingredients for the chocolate coating. (If using a stainless steel bowl over pot, don't let the bowl touch the boiling water otherwise the chocolate will burn! Melt over low simmering heat, stirring, until completely melted).", "Place the nuts in food processor fitted with the \"s\"" blade. Process until nuts are crumbly. Add the figs and maple syrup. Process until a semi-smooth paste forms. You will need to stop the food processor occasionally and scrape down the sides then process again. Roll filling into 1-inch balls (or to the size desired) and set onto a plate.""
