Pruneaux d'Agen: not your ordinary geriatric diet

Confucius say: He who eats too many prunes, sits on toilet many moons.

Who would've thought dried plums could be something to rave about but then again, these aren't your ordinary California Sunsweets. These are french prunes from Agen, sans the pit, stuffed plump and delectable with prune purée and designed to look like fancy bonbons for the fiber-deficient. I'm standing there at the supermarket thinking what a nice stocking stuffer (for my inlaws) but what ultimately happens is that we sample a few and realize these prunes aren't for giving, these are for keeping. Bursting with sweet prune curd from the first bite, they deserve their own line - While visions of sugar plums pruneaux d'Argen danced in their heads - in Twas the night before Xmas.

I had seen an idea on the net that suggests wrapping them in bacon and frying until done but I think the prune filling is so rich and sweet that the bacon doesn't make that much of an impression. Better as is, keeping in mind Confucius' words of wisdom.
