Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4.

Step 2

Place the butter and sugar into a pan and melt together – allow to turn golden brown before stirring in flour and double cream.

Step 3

Add the dried fruit and nuts and mix together.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

TOP TIP

Use your favourite Fairtrade fruits and nuts; we love cranberries, almonds and apricots.
