What Ruby chocolate is
Ruby chocolate is the fourth basic type of chocolate alongside classic dark, milk and white - its naturally pink colour comes from specially processed ruby cocoa beans, without the use of colourings or fruit additives. In terms of taste it combines gentle sweetness with a tart, fruity undertone, which makes it an interesting counterpart to sweet figs.
Store figs in chocolate somewhere cool and dry - the chocolate coating is sensitive to heat and moisture.
