These florentines are better than the ones from the coffee shop. They taste so good, I'm always asked for the recipe. - wapol

Ingredients

2 cups Kellogg's Cornflakes crushed
3/4 cup raw peanuts
1 cup sultanas
1/4 cup glace cherries chopped
2/3 cup condensed milk
100 g milk chocolate melts

Method

Step 1

Preheat fan-forced oven to 150C.
Step 2

Combine all ingredients except chocolate in a mixing bowl and mix well.
Step 3

Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 4

Place a metal egg poaching ring onto the baking tray and spoon mixture into the ring.
Step 5

Press lightly with the back of the spoon to pack the mixture in.
Step 6

Lift the ring and a uniform shape will remain. Repeat this with the rest of the mixture.
Step 7

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove when lightly browned.
Step 8

Cool on the tray before gently removing with a spatula. Melt chocolate and spread over flat under-side of the biscuit, drag a fork through to create a pattern.
Step 9

Allow chocolate to set and store in an airtight container.
