Christmas Sweets (Florentine)

1. * Foreword to the crispy bee (finished product): About 30 years ago I worked as a saleswoman in a bakery. At Christmas time there was “Florentine” which was baked with this ready-made mixture. They were bought and eaten for Christmas. At some point the whole thing disappeared as the owners retired and so did the “Florentines”. About 10 years ago I was with a friend at a “baking party” and there my “Florentines” were presented, among other things, how to prepare them. I was “happy”! with joy. Ordered these bags for me and made them for my family at Christmas time. Now I pack them in bags and give them away to friends, family and relatives on Christmas Eve. Always make a few more and for the general public to snack on.

Christmas sweets (Florentine)

1. Take a pair of scales and add the flaked almonds. Add the crispy bee and mix with a spoon. Take a baking sheet, line it with baking paper and distribute the mixture evenly on it. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees with a fan oven.
2. Then place in the second rack from below and bake for about 8 minutes. Please keep an eye on them, otherwise they will burn very quickly. Then take it out and let it cool down. I baked it 5 more times and always used the same mixing ratio.
3. After cooling and baking, I melted the milk chocolate one after the other and coated three baked almond florentines with it. Let the chocolate dry / solidify and then break it into pieces. The one without chocolate too.
4. I packed some of it in bags to give away. The others have come in a bowl for Christmas Eve.
