Remove the stalks from the figs and coarsely chop them into smaller pieces. Add the figs, dried orange peel, dried ginger, honey, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to a food processor and pulse until the mixture breaks up into a chunky paste that sticks together.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use your hands to roll the mixture into 1 inch balls. Set aside on the baking sheet.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over medium heat. Place a glass bowl on top so it fits securely.

Make sure that the water is at least an inch below the bowl. Add one slab of chocolate broken into smaller pieces. Mix with a spatula till the chocolate melts. Break the 2nd slab into smaller pieces and stir in till it melts. Remove the bowl from the heat.

Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and roll around to coat. Place it back on the wax-lined baking sheet. Once all the balls are covered with chocolate dust with some cocoa powder.

Place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool. Enjoy!!!!
