Preheat the oven to 180ΒΊC, 350ΒΊF, Gas Mark 4.
Place the butter and sugar into a pan and melt together β allow to turn golden brown before stirring in flour and double cream.
Add the dried fruit and nuts and mix together.
Take a large piece of baking paper and grease lightly with butter. Cut into 12 squares and use to line the bases of a 12 hole muffin or bun tin.
Spoon the mixture into the holes and spread out with a teaspoon. Bake for 12-15 minutes until mid golden brown. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set completely before peeling off the baking paper.
Melt the chocolates in separate bowls, spread a little chocolate onto the flat side of each Florentine and just before it hardens completely run a fork through the chocolate to create a wavy pattern.
