Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this recipe to life:

  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or cherries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Let’s Make These Delicious Treats

Now that you have your ingredients ready, here’s how to put it all together:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, and dried cranberries. Mix them well to ensure an even spread.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, heavy cream, and light corn syrup. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then, pour the mixture over your nut and fruit mix, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  5. Spoon small mounds of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. While your Florentines are cooling, melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle or dip the cooled Florentines in the chocolate, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you like that sweet and salty combo.
  8. Let the chocolate set before serving. Trust me, you’ll have a hard time resisting these!

And there you have it—a delightful treat that’s sure to impress! Enjoy these Chocolate Florentines, and share the love with your friends and family!
