From Diane M c/o a friend
Ingredients:
1 C Butter
1 C Sugar
1/3 C Honey
1/3 C Whipping Cream, unwhipped
4 – 5 C Sliced Almonds
1 bag Chocolate Chips
4 Foil Cake Plates
Directions;
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, honey and whipping cream (do not whip). Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook 1-11/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in almonds. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes or until dark golden brown. Cool in plates. Refrigerate for ease in removing from plates. Invert plates and carefully press in plate bottoms to pop out
florentines.
Melt chocolate chips gently. Spread chocolate over bottom and sides of cooled Florentines. Refrigerate again until chocolate sets. Crack into bite-sized pieces. Makes about 2/3 of an ice cream bucket.
Tips:
Foil plates should be used for easy removal of baked Florentines in one piece.
Watch carefully while baking, but don’t undercook.
To make smaller Florentines that won’t need to be cracked, use smaller, foil tart plates.
