042 Florentines

Ingredients:

• 100 g sliced almonds
• 100 g slivered almonds
• 25 g butter
• 50 g sugar
• 50g honey
• 50 g candied cherries
• 1 pack vanilla sugar
• 100 g dark chocolate

Slice cherries in small pieces. Brown the almonds in a pan or in the oven. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and cover the baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix butter, sugar, honey and vanilla sugar in a small pot and melt it at small heat and brown while stirring. Mix it with almonds and cherries and let it simmer for 5 min.

Put always a teaspoon of the almond mixture on a baking sheet. If the mixture hardens, warm it up again. Put the Florentines in the middle of the oven for 7 minutes. After baking let them cool down for 5 minutes, then move the parchment paper from the baking sheet and let them cool down completely.

Melt chocolate and dip the bottom of the Florentines in it before putting them back on the parchment paper. Wait till dry.
