I’ve been trying to “snack right” at work lately after demolishing an entire packet of Tim Tams to myself in one day, which is quite an accomplishment for someone who prefers savoury over sweet. But it’s not just Tim Tams, it’s anything I can get my hands on when sitting at my desk – chips, cupcakes, cookies and more.

So in a bid to snack right I took a trip to the fruit store and found these ugly buggers – dried figs. I was never really a fan of figs. It took me a while to get over the ugly factor, but as soon as I did I’ve never looked back.
