Almond & Cranberry Florentines

My picture does not do this justice. These little florentines are just yummy. We polished off the entire lot in one day. Really easy to make too. Once again, Gary Mehigan has produced a wonderful recipe. Love that Bad Chef!!!

100g slithered almonds (I used Flaked Almonds which worked just fine)
75g craisins (dried cranberries)
40g plain flour
2 tsp orange zest
40 unsalted butter
2tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
100g dark chocolate

Combine almonds, craisins flour and orange zest.

Melt the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup, bring to the boil and add to the dry ingredients.

Stir and mix evenly. Place table spoon size pieces onto a baking sheet 8cm apart and bake in a moderate 160C oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool.

Melt the chocolate and temper if using couverture. Dip the flat base into the chocolate and turn chocolate side up onto a baking rack until set.
