My mum gave me a recipe book for Christmas that is full of delicious cakes and slices. I have made a couple of recipes from this book already and was flicking through the other day and HAD to make the Florentines.
Recipe adapted from Best Ever recipe book.

Ingredients
3/4 cup sultanas
2 cups corn flakes
3/4 cup roasted flaked almonds
1/2 cup red glacé cherries
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
70% cocoa eating chocolate, melted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees celcius (fan forced). Line oven cookie sheets with baking paper.
Combine in a medium sized bowl sultanas, corn flakes, nuts, cherries and condensed milk.
Drop tablespoons of the mixture about 5cm apart on the cookie sheets. Bake for 5-10 minutes until golden and the condensed milk has caramelised. Cool on trays.
Once cool dip the bottom of each Florentine in the melted chocolate and put on back on the tray upside down to cool. If it's a hot day you may need to put them in the fridge for the chocolate to set.
