For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Toasting the walnuts enhances their nutty flavor. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. If you prefer a smoother filling, pulse the mixture in the food processor after cooking. The filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before using. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as almonds or pecans. A splash of orange juice can be added if the mixture seems too dry during cooking.

Embrace the warmth of the holidays with this luscious fig filling, traditionally nestled within Italian Christmas cookies but equally divine in flaky puff pastry. A symphony of sweet figs, bright citrus, and rich chocolate, infused with a hint of whiskey and spice.
