Chocolate Florentines

25 minutes
I enjoy making these florentines to give as food gifts for Christmas. They are very versatile so you can change the type of nut and/or dried fruits depending on who you ae making them for! This version includes brandy but it can be easily left out. Dip them in milk, dark or white chocolate.

- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, liqueur and butter. Warm over a low heat to melt the butter and sugar, then remove from heat and stir well.
- Add the flour, almonds, sultanas and glace cherries, then stir well to combine evenly.
- Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto the trays, leaving some space between them to prevent sticking together.
- Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven but let them harden on the tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
- Dip one side of each florentine into melted chocolate and leave to harden.

Great recipe. I've made it a couple of times now using different dried fruits and I don't add any alcohol. Still gorgeous - 25 Mar 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
