Rose are red, violets are blue, I fancy a fig ball, how about you? Roses are the symbol of romance and love. Until recently I didn’t realise that roses are also edible as well. In fact they have amazing health benefits that can help the body. Last year I made rose date balls which were so tasty.
This year I decided to make them with dried figs instead and these were just as tasty. They would make a delicious gift on Valentines day or you could just gift yourself with these this year! Below is a video and recipe for you.

Rose Fig Balls were a huge hit with me. When I made these the other day I hid them in the fridge so I could enjoy them for myself. Shh, don’t tell my husband or son!!! I had to make sure they were ok first. Trust me, they you won’t want to give your ones away. If you do decide to gift them then they do make a delicious gift for a family member or friend. Hee, hee! However you decide to eat this treat or whoever you give it to, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
