2. Lay out a baking tray covered with a silicone baking mat or baking paper.

3. Use a dessert spoon to spoon out even amounts of each mix. Keep them spaced evenly – I fit 8-9 per tray.

5. Cool in fridge before peeling off of the paper.

6. If you choose you can drizzle melted chocolate over the Florentines once cooled.
