Figamajigs - Dark Chocolate Covered Fig Bar with Almonds

I love figs.  I remember going on walks with my mother and passing the fig trees near our neighborhood.  She'd pick them and peel them and hand them to me.

Yummy fresh figs.

I think that was the first time I ever had a fig.

I guess you could say my mother took my fig cherry.  LOL!

In any case, since that time, I have grown to love figs, but I don't eat them as much as I used to when I was younger.  I don't see them as much in stores... or at least so prominently advertised like mangos and cranberries and other fruits.

And then there was the day that figs met chocolate.

Helloooooooooo nurse!

Now I used to not enjoy in partaking in the fruits covered in chocolate.  I usually (as a child) enjoyed them separately.  As I got older, I saw the error of my ways and embraced the heavenly chocolate covered cherry.

The rest, they say, is history.

So while at healthy food stores, I have seen chocolate covered fig confections that make me say, "Ah yes, come to me my pretties and have a party in my mouth."

Recently at one of these stores, I happened into the candy aisle (yeah, accidentally on purpose), and saw chocolate covered fig bars.

You guessed it - the aforementioned "Figamjigs".

I have to admit that the name caught my attention first since I thought it was a cute play on words.  Then I saw it had to do with figs, and I grew curiouser.

The front of the package boasts "all natural" as well as "low fat", "high in fiber", and "high in anti-oxidants".

What else?  Well, included in this 1.41 oz of this yummy snack is 4 grams of fiber, 28 grams of carbs, 20 mg of sodium and 2 grams protein.  (Must block out jokes about protein.)

There is also 6% calcium as well as 2% iron.

But really... are we caring about any of this at all?  Sure, the bar itself is 150 calories, but how does it taste?

In my opinion, the car is yummy.  (I really need to find another word to use when I like how things taste.)  But really, the Figamajigs bar is rather good.  I think it's the appropriate size for the sweetness of the bar itself.  There's just enough bar to satisfy you without overloading your tastebuds.

Would I ever try this again?: Of course I would though it is not something I have any dire craving for. Still, I was curious about the other flavors they had at the store as well as the other stuff on their site.
