While these biscuits are undeniably a treat, they do have plenty of fibre.
Recipe: Beryl Ball, Photography: Beryl Ball
Preheat oven to 160 celcius fan-forced (180 celcius conventional).
Combine all ingredients, except the chocolate, in a large bowl; stir well to combine.
Press 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into a 7cm biscuit cutter on a paper-lined baking tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and cooked. Remove from tray and cool on a wire rack.
Spread the melted chocolate on the back of each biscuit and leave to set.
Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

These have a really good flavour. I found them a little dry, but perhaps I cooked them for a bit too long. The more I taste tested them, the more I liked them; all in the name of research you understand.

A very wonderful, however non tradional Florentine recipe.

I cannot believe a recipe containing so much processed ingredients is considered healthy. Yummy, undeniably. But NOT healthy (not for our nation or our bodies) with milk out of a tin that has come from outside of Australia + all the hidden sugars of all those processed food.

The florentines taste delicious and are very easy to prepare with ingredients that would be in most people's cupboard.
They are a wonderful treat to have handy when friends pop in for a cuppa.
