Fig Bars

Anybody like figs? Well if you like figs and you like fig rolls then you’ll like these! The same components are there – biscuit and a figgy filling – just in a different way. What I love about this recipe is that all the ingredients could already be sitting in your cupboard and it doesn’t take very long to whip up a batch! I’ve spiced up the filling with some ground cinnamon and stem ginger, and I don’t see why you couldn’t substitute the dried figs for dried apricots or any other favourites!

The judges liked it overall, good flavour and nice presentation, if I remember correctly. It didn’t blow them away but it surely didn’t disappoint =D

And here’s what the Lemon Meringue Cupcakes shoulda, woulda, coulda looked like had time been on my side…
