    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I haven't seen them in wooden boxes personally, but that doesn't mean you're not right. They generally come in either small, round plastic tubs or loose in a plastic bag when I've seen them.

    I might have to try and get some when I go shopping this evening - this discussion has left me craving dried figs! :)
    Back after a very long break!

    What a fab way to describe them, CCP - "fruit toffee"! I have always thought dates are a bit like fudge so that description works for me!

    They are crunchy and sweet, but not overly so, and go great with a cup of coffee and a couple pecans or walnuts for a snack or after a meal. Have you ever had fig rolls, Princess? Oddly enough, I'm not keen on fig rolls, but I am partial to a plain old dried fig. They are very good in a fruit cake/tea loaf/something of that sort ;) DD loves them and they are good for calcium :T
