Fixed Florentines

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 100 g butter
• 200 g sugar
• 4 tbsp honey
• 10 drops flavoring (butter vanilla flavor)
• 250 ml cream
• 400 g almond flakes, if necessary chopped almonds will also work
• 10 drops of rum flavoring
• 1 pack of dark chocolate coating

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

not just for Christmas, they are quick and taste great

Heat the butter, sugar, honey, and vanilla essence in a saucepan until lightly browned. Add the cream and stir until dissolved. Add the almonds and stir until the mixture thickens, i.e. most of the liquid has evaporated. Finally, stir in the rum essence. Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 180°C (top and bottom heat) until the mixture bubbles and the surface is lightly browned. Caution! This time varies from oven to oven; allow the mixture to cool slightly and then peel off the baking paper. This is very easy because of the high fat content. Melt the chocolate coating. Spread the melted, dark chocolate evenly on a second baking tray lined with baking paper and warmed in the oven. Place the Florentine mixture on top while it is still lukewarm, with the underside thereof, and press it down lightly. You can also spread the chocolate coating on the underside of the mixture, but this will cause the chocolate to run into the small gaps, which doesn’t look as nice. Once everything has cooled, cut the surface into diamond shapes. Like all cookies, store them in tins.
