Cindy, Demerera sugar is unrefined cane sugar that is in larger crystals so it’s used for decorating and adding to the tops of cookies, tarts, pies, etc. You can use regular sugar here instead, no worries!

Diana – you are correct about the butterscotch chips, in particular. Nestle Butterscotch Chips have barley in them, so watch out! Check the ingredients on peanut butter chips – they should be GF but will contain dairy. The figs I use in this recipe are dried, but you could even used bagged dates, if you wanted (they’re still soft but not exactly fresh).

I thought that many grocery store brands of peanut butter chips and butterscotch chips had barley flour in them?
Also, are your figs fresh or dried? Thank you!
