OMG, those forget fig newtons, these are fig newtons in a much higher realm! My father loves fig newtons, but has type two diabetes. The minute I saw these beauties, I knew these were for him! Your round-up of 2011 posts is mouth-watering food porn at it’s best! Thank you so much for such a great virtual New Years party, and Happy New Year to you and yours!!

Great initiative, Sunjeet!
As I said earlier, after following you almost religiously through 2010 – and then almost not at all (was the same with everyone) for 2011 – I cannot believe the progress you have made in every way. I have missed so much, and have lots of catching up to do! Great initiative. Hope to get mine up day after tomorrow!

Everything look so delicious, Sanjeeta. Your opening words for 2012 are just what I want to say. I didn’t know anything about this blog world. I took interest in internet when I had nothing to do after surgery in March 2011.During that time I decided I should gluten free blogging because I did not find any Indian blogger doing gluten free blogging.

Happy New year and I am joining you. Is it subscription thru email. I will check.

Hi Sanjeeta! I love your fig bars – they are amazing! I wasn’t a big fan of fig when I was small, but all the sudden when I’m adult I’m in love with it. This looks so good that I wish to try it right now…seriously, gorgeous!

I enjoyed the roundup from your 2011 recipes. Everything looks so good! Happy New Year and looking forward to your new posts in 2012!

Hi! These figgy bars look so amazing that I tried them twice but my filling becomes hard…what is going wrong? Pl help!

# 9 June 2012 at 9:21 pm

sanjeeta kk (author) said:

@Ranjana, Reduce the cooking time for making the filling and let it be a bit runny, you could add a tsp. of melted butter in the filling also to keep it soft. Hope it comes out good the next time. Happy baking!
