Prepare the hazelnuts by toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool, then finely chop or crush them into small pieces and set aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for the fig kisses to cool.
Using a knife, make a small slit in the side of each dried fig to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the teaspoon of unsalted butter to make the chocolate slightly thinner and easier to coat the figs.
Dip each dried fig into the white chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Use a fork to lift the fig out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of each fig and lightly press them on to adhere. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to each coated fig for a balance of flavors.
Place the white chocolate-coated figs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch one another. Continue until all figs are coated and garnished.
Allow the figs to cool and the chocolate to set completely. This can be done at room temperature, which will take about 30 minutes, or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for faster results.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the White Chocolate Fig Kisses to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. They can be enjoyed immediately or saved for up to one week.
